Not so long after Google Chrome made it way to the App Store, hackers of the jailbreak community are making tweak for it andย puttingย it in Cydia. Thanks to iOS hackerย Ryan Petrich, we can now set Google Chrome as the default webย browserย in iOS.ย Petrich has developed a Cydia tweak called ‘BrowserChooser’ย which allows you to ‘switchย defaultย webย browsers between Chrome, Opera Mini, iCab Mobile,ย Dolphin Browser, Atomic Browser and Safari.’
The tweak works really well. When using it, it open links from mail, messages, and app in your defaultย browser. It’s pretty easy to set your defaultย browser after you download it. All you have to do is navigate to Settings > BrowserChooser and select the defaultย browser your want to use.
BrowserChooser can be downloaded on jailbroken iPhone, iPad, iPod touch from Cydia. If your device is jailbroken, open up Cydia, click Manage > Sources > Edit > Add and addย http://rpetri.ch/repo as your source. Search forย BrowserChooser, and install it.
