A little lunch time Googling told me that I was right in my assumption that you cannot change the default browser on an iOS device. It is possible if you jail break your device, but I have no interest in doing that.
I guess I will just have to copy links out of emails and other apps. Not too big a deal, but I do want to use Chrome instead of Safari for now. I really don’t know why.
I was a die hard Firefox user until I got my iMac. For some reason when I set up the new computer I installed Chrome right away. I don’t think I installed Firefox at all. I actually use both at work as I have my own Google account and we use Gmail for work and I prefer to keep them separate. I want both accounts open so I use two browsers. Chrome for work, Firefox for personal.
Since getting the iMac I had rarely used my MacBook Pro. During the February music goofiness I used it quite a bit and without really thinking about it I was using Chrome for all of my browsing. Given that I kept all of the song arrangements and lyrics on a Google Document, and that every single idea I had got uploaded to the ‘net somewhere, I did a lot of browsing during the music making.
I guess Chrome just quietly won me over. I don’t think the browsing experience is any better or worse in iOS, at least as far as rendering the pages is concerned. I do prefer the tabbed functions in Chrome to the multi-page functions in Safari. Maybe I’m just a nerd.
Yeah, I’m probably just a nerd.
