I recently posted the download link for Google Chrome on the iPhone and could not be happier with its performance. In fact it is now number 1 in the App Store under Free Apps.

Since then I've come to have a couple of problems. When I click on a link in an email for instance, it opens that link with Safari instead of Chrome. Ryan Petrich, however, had this problem and well and developed a nice iPhone tweak available in Cydia to make Chrome the default web browser.



Petrich just announced the utility via his Twitter account, saying: “BrowserChooser is up on rpetri.ch/repo. Loving Chrome for iOS so much that it had to be built.”

BrowserChooser allows you to make Chrome your iDevice’s default browser via the stock Settings app.

To install BrowserChooser on your jailbroken device, you’re going to need Ryan Petrich’s repo. If you don’t have it, simply open up Cydia and then tap Manage > Sources > Edit > Add, and type rpetri.ch/repo.

Once the repo is added, all you have to do is search for BrowserChooser. And don’t worry, it’s free.

Already downloaded Google Chrome?

Are you going to make it your default browser?
