How to Make Google Chrome Default Browser in Android

Love to use Google Chrome on your Android device. Here are the steps to make Google Chrome the default browser on Android.

Out of the box, Google Chrome is the default browser in most Android devices. However, if you’ve installed multiple browsers then there is a chance that either you or the app might have intentionally or accidentally changed the default browser choice. When you change the default browser in Android, all links will be opened in that browser only. For example, I recently wanted to try a new browser. So, I installed it from the Play Store and made it my default browser for a few days. After that, I eventually switched back to Google Chrome mainly because of its syncing feature and the password manager.

In the same manner, if you don’t like the current default browser, you can always change it in Android. i.e, you can make Google Chrome the default browser.

In this quick and simple guide, let me show you the steps to make Google Chrome the default browser in Android. Before proceeding, make sure you’ve already installed Google Chrome on your Android device. If not, download it from the Play Store.
