🔹 Problem 1: Download Button Doesn’t Work in Edge
• Possible Reason: Microsoft Edge sometimes shows aggressive popups or blockers that discourage downloading rival browsers.
• Solution:
1. Right-click the “Download Chrome” button and choose “Open in new tab” or “Copy link” and paste it in the address bar.
2. Make sure pop-ups and downloads aren’t blocked in Edge:
• Go to edge://settings/content/popups and allow pop-ups.
• Go to edge://settings/downloads and make sure download blocking isn’t on.
3. Temporarily disable Microsoft Defender SmartScreen (if comfortable):
• Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Security > Microsoft Defender SmartScreen → Toggle Off (re-enable later).
🔹 Problem 2: Trying to Use Google Play to Download Chrome
• Google Play is for Android devices only, not Windows or macOS.
• If you’re on a Windows PC, Chrome must be downloaded from the official Chrome website.
🔹 Problem 3: Chrome Not Showing in Default Apps
• Apps can only appear in the Default Apps list after they are installed.
• If Chrome isn’t installed yet, it won’t show up under Settings > Apps > Default Apps.
