With the arrival of Google's Chrome web browser on iOS, many are finding this to be a better tool than Safari. Developer Jon Abrams posted a
nifty trick to easily open a web page in Chrome. Since iOS doesn't allow you to choose which browser will open links, Safari takes over every time you tap on one. But you can create a bookmarklet for Safari to open the current page in Chrome.
To do this, do the following:
- Copy this bit of code: javascript:location.href="googlechrome"+location.href.substring(4);.
- Bookmark this or any web page.
- Open Safari's bookmarks, tap on “edit,” and edit the new bookmark.
- Rename it to “Open in Chrome” or whatever name you wist.
- Delete the bookmark's URL in the bookmark and paste in the above code in its place.
