**What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?**

_Expected Result_: My OS’s default browser would open when I clicked the LINKS in the Settings UI

_Actual Result_: Internet Explorer opened instead of my default browser (Chrome)

* * *

**What are the steps to make it happen again?**

Click a link in the Settings UI when a browser OTHER than IE is set to default

Actually it can be a problem. On my pc I can only get an earlier version of Explore which is a security sieve. I refuse to use it but a few games are linked to that browser. I mainly used a browser my husband created.  
So I get the issue. 🙂

That’s what I meant. That can be absolutely horrifying!

As a former webmaster and online game developer, I can say without hyperbole that IE is the worst thing that has ever happened to the World Wide Web at large - both for users and developers.
