    And that would not work. The 'Clear Defaults' button on this device is greyed out for the that app. You cannot perform this action in the normal way. I'm starting to think I have to root the thing. Thanks for answering.

    Permanently Set Default Browser to Chrome

    I have had a Tab S 8.4 for about a month. I am constantly asked to choose a default Web browser when launching links from the Chrome Bookmarks widget. I choose Chrome, select 'Always', and a few links later I'm asked to select a default app again. I check the preferences, and Chrome is the...
