How do I stop Windows 10 from changing my default browser?

Opera One is a well-known web browser, and since it’s built on a Chromium engine it’s quite similar to Chrome. The browser also works with Chrome extensions which is a major plus.
The browser offers tracking protection and a built-in ad blocker that should make your browsing experience more enjoyable.
Speaking of the browsing experience, Opera One allows you to organize tabs into workspaces, and you can even search for open tabs with ease.
For extra privacy, the browser has a built-in VPN with unlimited bandwidth, so you can rest assured that your online activity is safe from your ISP.
Opera One is a great browser, and if you’re having issues with your current browser, we suggest trying out Opera One as an alternative.
Other great features of Opera One include integrations for Messenger, Twitter, and Instagram, a video pop-out, and even a built-in AI.
It is worth mentioning that Opera One will offer qualitative browsing features with modern built-in elements on the homepage that makes everything more comfortable.
