You can choose Chrome as your default browser in app settings.
Edge is going to be your default PDF reader as well.

Download Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. It's free. But be careful to deselect the partnered McCafee antivirus before downloading. And make sure you are downloading the free reader version and not the Pro trial version.
Then go to default apps by file type
Scroll to .PDF, click and select adobe

Also go to start up apps and turn off Edge.
