# How do I make Comet my default browser?

<h2 id="h_471aef341e">How to Set Comet as Your Default Browser</h2>

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

  </li>
