Make chrome ur browser



Do you love google chrome like me? How about making it your default browser on your iPhone? Well read in and I'll show you how :-)

A jailbreak app developer has just released a tweak that allows you to do just that.

Apple doesn't allow you to change the default browser, so you can't tell iOS to open links in Chrome.

BrowserChooser - as the name suggests, the new jailbreak tweak allows you to change the default browser to popular third-party iOS browsers such as Google Chrome, Opera Mini, iCab Mobile, Dolphin Browser and Atomic Browser.

All you have to do is follow these simple steps to change your the default browser on your iPhone or iPad:

Launch Cydia

Tap on the Manage tab

Tap on Sources

Then tap on the Edit button on the top right corner, followed by the Add button

Here enter the URL of Ryan'srepository: http://rpetri.ch/repo

Tap on the Add Source button

Tap on the Return to Cydia button when prompted

Now tap on the Search tab and search for BrowserChooser

Select BrowserChooser from the search results

Then tap on the Install button, followed by the Confirm button

After the jailbreak tweak is installed, it will prompt you to Restart SpringBoard

Tap on the Restart SpringBoard button and wait for your iPhone to respring

Then launch the Settings app
And navigate to BrowserChooser settings

Select Chrome as your default browser by tapping it


That's it, now when you open links in the Mail app, Twitter apps etc., they will open in Chrome rather than Safari.

Let me know how it goes.
