[Roy Berntsen]

I somehow have locked my weblinks to open in chrome. Now i dont know how to change this. I would like them to open in the native LG Internet app as i find it much smoother. Dont shoot me for this please....

From your home screen go to the apps Drawer, this is where all the icons that your phone is running are. Once there press the settings icon of your LG G2, then press Apps, press Chrome icon, press uninstall updates or just press disable ? Including a photo or screen shot ?. Go back to the phone apps Drawer and press the Browser icon. Once there press settings browser, the three horizontal lines at the bottom right of the screen. Press Advanced, press Set Search Engine, press AT&T BROWSER or Yahoo < including a photo >. Go back to Browser settings and press Home Page, then press AT&T BROWSER. I know, little mess but right now is the only way I know. In different Android Forums I read that the Verizon version of the LG G2 don't come with a Browser icon, just Google Chrome or Google Search or Google Search Bar in the Home Screen. I'm with AT&T and the Browser is Yahoo.

I'm confused as to why he would have to change search engines. That just makes no sense.

Wouldn't clearing cach/data be all that's needed?

I know I have the Verizon variant but if you go into the "App Info" page for Chrome just select "Clear Defaults". Next time you open a link it will ask you to choose what to open it with.

Well let's see, as said before my LG G2 runs on AT&T, I use Chrome Beta as browser. Roy locked his weblinks to open in Chrome but he wants to open in the native LG Internet. The AT&T LG G2 got Yahoo as native or stock browser, there is an Browser icon in the app drawer that take you there, including photos. Maybe Just Some Nobody is right and all needed is clean cach/data. I go the long way cause I don't know the cach/data shortcut. I just hope that Roy Berntsen is opening his weblinks in the native LG Browser, that is Yahoo.

I don't blame you. Chrome is an overweight monster.

Just disable Chrome in the apps section (settings -> general -> apps) and then, assuming that you don't have any 3rd party browser installed, all links will automatically open in the native browser. You don't need to do anything else

I personally can't see trhe need to have more than 1 browser installed.
