DEFAULT BROWSER: Should Chrome be set as the Default browser?

Possibly not, but it depends on the user. Some users go to portals run by the Louisiana Dept of Education that have to run in Internet Explorer, while at the same time, the user may want WebPams to open in Chrome. In this scenario, it may be best to indicate that Chrome is not the default browser, and additionally, the option for "Don't ask again" is selected.
