Browsers..................?

If you have more than 1 browser on your computer, how do you know which one you

are using and how do you switch to the other one? Can you designate each one to whatever programs you want?

Update:

I don't see the browser icon except for less than a second on the top left of the tab. Then it stays as the website icon. I also don't see any small arrow to switch it. Could it be a setting I need to change? Seems I'm having trouble in different websites not liking the browser.

    There are two long windows across the top of your screen. The one at the far right has a symbol on the left and that shows you what browser you are using. If you click on the tiny arrow to the right of the symbol, you can change browsers. You cannot designate a browser for different websites at the same time. All of your searches will use the chosen browser until you change it but you can change it at any time.

    Yes, you can set the browser as default the one you want to use most of the time. Depending on the browser - it is different for each browser to set it as the default. Google "set IE as my default Browser" or "Set firefox as my default browser" and google will give you an answer how to set your browser as the default browser.

    Hit F11 on your keyboard - sounds like you are in full-screen mode if you can't see what browser you are using at the top.
