In the regular browser when I clicked a youtube link I had the choice to open in browser or to open in Youtube app, I dont have that choice anymore because Chrome doesnt give it to me, it just launches in chrome now.

Also (not every link) there have been some links to apps in the market and it wont allow me to make the market open by default, it just opens the market page in chrome.

Anyone else have this problem?

I cleared defaults for everything (chrome, browser, market, youtube) and still have these issues.

uninstall Chrome, use as normal, then reinstall it.

It still asked me every time which browser to use as I'm not fully sold on Chrome yet due to Flash.

Change Default Apps
If you have an application set as the default for some action – for example, a particular browser is the default for opening web pages – you can change that. Find the app in Settings > Manage Applications, then tap Clear Defaults.
This also applies to launchers. If you want to try another one, then remove your current selection as the default; whenever you press Home it’ll let you choose between all the launchers you have installed, until you select a new default.

If you guys go to this link in the chrome browser and click to launch the embedded video into YouTube does it launch YouTube app? Open it in the browser (YouTube.com)? Or does it give you a choice?

Edit. I don't get the option as well. It becomes a pita when I got to a flash site and have to open the browser just to view. But its probably because your allready using chrome and it just thinks you would like to continue to use it.

Here is what I see. In Chrome there is no choice to open in the youtube app when the embedded video is tapped. It just tries to play it in the browser itself. Same action for the stock browser it initially plays on the site, but in the stock browser I can subsequently tap the youtube logo near bottom right to take me to the app. I do not see this in Chrome.
