It was one of the surprises of iOS 14, the possibility to choose which is our default internet browser, something in high demand and that finally reaches our devices. iOS 14 is still in beta version waiting for news next day 15 in Apple Keynote, but for all those who are testing the latest beta of iOS 14, Google Chrome has just been updated allowing us to change the default internet browser on iOS to the internet giant's browser. After the jump we tell you how to make Google Chrome our default internet browser.

First of all tell you that this is possible thanks to iOS 14 and the latest update of Google Chrome for iOS. If you are not using the beta of iOS 14 you will have to wait a few more days for Apple to confirm the launch of iOS 14 and thus be able to enjoy all the news of this new operating system. As we told you, now we can now choose which browser is our default browser on iOS, something that will allow all the links that appear in our day to day to open automatically with this browser. Google Chrome with its latest update already allows this configuration, and you can get it by following these simple steps:

  1. Download the latest update for Google Chrome for iOS from the App Store
  2. Open the iOS Settings app and scroll down until you find Google Chrome, click on these settings
  3. Click on Default browser app
  4. Click on Chrome

How can you see I have left Safari as my default browser on iOS, I think it is the best browser that we can use on both iOS and Mac so I do not see the need to use Chrome for this aspect. What is good is to have this possibility, it is an iOS opening and all "controlled" openings are welcome. Chrome is one of the most used browsers, if not the most used, and in the end it is always good to have the option to make it our default browser to be able to use all Google services from it. And you, will you make Google Chrome your default internet browser?

    And thus, all your browsing history and your behavior within each page is registered by Google. Instead of keeping Safari privacy. No thanks Chrome, but no.
    Safari to browse and Duckduckgo.com to search.

    and only Chrome can be the default browser or can you choose any? I have been using iCab for many years and I will not change it for anything in the world, but I would love it if it could be my default browser
