You’re in the right place for assistance, Scott. I’m here to help you change your default browser settings to Google Chrome. This adjustment will ensure that when you link an account within QuickBooks Online, it will open in Chrome, providing a smoother and more integrated experience.
In QuickBooks Online (QBO), when you perform activities that redirect to the search engine, it will use the default one in your settings. To modify this, please refer to the steps below:
For Windows 11
- Click the Start menu.
- Go to Settings.
