Browser default settings - no option to choose Google

Hello,


I'm running a MacBook Air with OS Monterey 12.6.3.


I'm trying to change the default browser from Safari to Google but Safari is the only default browser listed within 'General'.


How can I fix this please? Thanks in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

Safari is the only browser incorporated with macOS. If you want to install an additional browser, find one on the App Store: Download apps from the App Store on your Mac - Apple Support.


I suspect you may be confusing browser with search engine. To change Safari's default search engine, read Change Search settings in Safari on Mac - Apple Support.
