Opera browser has been around for years. Despite the staggering growth of Mozilla Firefox
and later Google chrome, opera browser has remained one of the better
contenders to these most popular browsers. People love opera for its beautiful design, a
number of innovative features like speed dial, tab previews, integrated
download and password manager, opera wand and others. Still, we all like to
keep at least two or three browsers in our computers. The links that you click and open in other
applications normally open in the default browser. If you don’t like links opening in internet
explorer and rather have them opened directly in opera browser, here is how to
make
opera default browser.
Open opera, in the menu bar, click
tools -> preferences
-> advanced (tab)
Under advanced select programs and select “
Check if opera is
the default browser on startup”. Click okay and exit.
Next time when you run opera, a prompt will ask you to
set default
web browser for viewing web pages. Click yes and you’re done.
