chrome for default

[Ping1337]

I just updated to 4.0 and immediately downloaded chrome. How can i make chrome open when i use the default browser (web)

When you are pulling up something that requires using a browser, there should be a pop up that will ask you to set Chrome or the stock browser as the default.

and after that if I hit the default browser it will go to chrome so i wont need to manually open chrome anymore?

because I did that and it still opens the default and chrome serperately.

Screen shots are the same just hold the home button and lock button longer. It'll go.

You know, you can change your apps at the bottom, including swapping the default for the Chrome.

From home page, click path is Applications>Menu (Edit)>Reorganize Icons (Switch). From there, you can move apps in and out of the bottom in whatever order you want, you can also do a drag and drop apps into folders, and you can even add a page. After you're done, hit the Menu button and Save, then you're set. You can also change the order of your icons in the Applications listing by hitting Menu and View type.

From Home Screen:

<Menu Button> - Settings - Scroll down and tap "Applications"

Select "All" Tab (Rightmost tab)

Scroll down to Web and Tap on it

Scroll down and tap "Clear defaults"

The reason why Chrome isn't popping up is because you have already set the Stock browser as default. Once you clear the default it should once again give you a choice when a third-party browser is also installed, and you can then set Chrome as your default browser.

Happy to Help.

If you arent going to use the default browser why not just disable it, ICS gives you that option.
