If you have fallen in love with Chrome for iOS and want to make it your default browser then you can either use BrowserChooser, a jailbreak tweak by Ryan Petrich, or if you are not jailbroken then you can simply use this neat little workaround by Jon Abram.
If you are curious to know as to how this works, then here is what he tells us:
My current workaround is this bit of javascript that will launch the current page in Chrome. Just copy and paste it into a bookmark in Safari, then if you ever find yourself in Safari, but would rather be in Chrome, tap the bookmark and voila! You’re now in Chrome but on the same page!
Follow these steps to create the bookmarklet:
1. Copy this piece of code:
javascript:location.href=”googlechrome”+location.href.substring(4);
2. Bookmark this page in Safari
3. Open Safari bookmarks > Tap edit > Edit the bookmark’s name to “Open In Chrome” (or whatever you want)
4. Delete the URL in the bookmark and paste the piece of code that you copied a few seconds ago
5. Then tap the “Done” buttons.
Now if you try to open a link from some other app, it’ll open the web page in Safari, tap on the Bookmarks button followed by a tap on the bookmarklet you just created. And Voila! The same page now opens in Google Chrome.
