What is a default web browser?

The phrase “default browser” refers to a browser that is set to run automatically, often while viewing web documents or clicking on web links. Safari is the default browser on Apple devices, but if you want to use anything else, you can easily change the default web browser on your Mac, iPhone, or iPad. Note: If you can’t find your preferred browser in the list of default browsers, it might not be installed on your Mac. In that case, you need to first install it.
