Do you like living on the edge? Is “Danger” your middle name? Is the bleeding edge the only real estate that piques your interest? If so, then Google’s Chrome Canary is for you. Running this web browser is so incredibly risky that even the supreme geeks at Google are trembling at the prospect of you using it. So much so, in fact, that Google won’t allow you to set it as your default browser:
Ha! Try as they might, but we’ll not surrender without a fight! Here’s the trick to setting the Canary as your default browser:
- Launch Safari
- Apple -> Preferences
- General -> Default Web Browser
- Select “Chrome Canary” from the drop-down menu
If for nothing else, at least install Chrome Canary for its superior icon. Now, go on and sic’ that there yeller-bellied canary on a bunch of rabid Chaos Monkeys!

Great trick, thanks
