Common mistakes to avoid
- Using Internet Explorer or an old version of Edge (HTML-based, not Chromium) -- these are unsupported and insecure. The new Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based, installed on Windows 10 and 11) is a completely different product from the legacy Edge
- Installing multiple browsers unnecessarily -- one primary browser is sufficient for most users
Signs you need professional help
- Browser is showing excessive pop-ups or redirecting to unexpected pages (possible browser hijacker)
- Corporate or school browser policies are preventing a preferred browser from being installed
