## How to Set Comet as Your Default Browser

Setting Comet as your default browser means any link you open—from an email, document, or another app—will automatically launch in Comet.\
It’s the easiest way to make sure all links open with Comet’s intelligent features by default.

***

## Set Comet as default (from within Comet)

You can set Comet as your default browser from several places inside the app:

<ol>
  <li>
    **Menu bar (macOS):**\
    Click **Comet → Set as Default Browser** in the top system menu.
  </li>

  <li>
    **Main app menu:**\
    Click the **Comet icon (⋮)** in the top-right corner → **Set Comet as your default browser.**
  </li>

  <li>
    **In-app banner:**\
    If you see a blue banner saying **Set Comet as default**, click it.
  </li>

  <li>
    **Settings page:**\
    Go to **Settings → Default browser.**\
    You’ll see the option **Make Comet your default browser** and a button **Set default**.
  </li>
</ol>

After choosing any of these options, your operating system will display a confirmation prompt:

<ul>
  <li>
    On **macOS**, a system dialog will appear asking if you want to switch your default browser — click **Use “Comet”**to confirm.
  </li>

  <li>
    On **Windows**, the system **Default apps** settings page for **Comet** will open automatically — click **Set default** to finish.
  </li>
</ul>

## Set Comet as default (from system settings)

## **macOS**

<ol>
  <li>
    Open **System Settings → Desktop & Dock**
  </li>

  <li>
    Scroll to **Default web browser**
  </li>

  <li>
    Select **Comet** from the dropdown list
  </li>
</ol>

## **Windows**

<ol>
  <li>
    Open **Settings → Apps → Default Apps**
  </li>

  <li>
    Search for **Comet**
  </li>

  <li>
    Choose **Set default** for web links and file types
  </li>
</ol>

***

## Changing it later

You can change your default browser anytime — either from **Comet → Settings → Default browser**, or through your system preferences.
