    I never get that, I was asked once and clicked don't ask again. I've been using Chrome for a few years and it's never been the default browser.

    How many times have you reinstalled it Derek ?
    Like I said Chrome used to have a custom install where you could uncheck what ever you wanted too
    Now it just installs with no options until after
    I did install Chrome in win-10 it had no custom install.

    It never tried to hijack the default setting, it asked if I wanted it to be and I unchecked that.

    It asked again after install and I just clicked don't ask again.

I just upgraded my browser to IE11, I finally figured out to change the browser mode in IE11 to get my add-on to work, but when I close that particular menu for browser mode the page refreshes and goes back to IE11 mode how can I make this stay put on one particular webpage
