Customizing Google Chrome for iOS & Making it Your Default Browser

Google released the Chrome browser for iOS platform last week and within no time, it became the top app on the Apple's App Store chart. Google Chrome is an amazing alternative for Apple users who were bored of Safari and were hunting for a change.

If you are a Google Chrome lover, you will be glad to know that a couple of Cydia tweaks can make Chrome the best replacement for Safari. But, you need to make Chrome as your default iOS browser in order to add enhancements.

You cannot replace Safari with Chrome if the phone isn't jailbroken. So, Browser Changer, which is a jailbreak tweak in Cydia will allow you to set the third-party browser as default while opening links in the device. Browser Charger can be downloaded for free in Cydia. After downloading Browser Charger, you have to select Google Chrome from tweak's settings.

It's time to add a few tweaks to your Google Chrome to make it even better. Install Chromizer in Cydia and get set to play with some awesome features of your new default browser.

Here are a bundle of advantages of installing Chromizer:

• If you want to initiate a full screen mode in your device, tap once with three fingers and iOS status bar will disappear.
• The "pull to refresh" feature is also present for reloading webpages.
• More intuitive navigation by swiping to left or right with two fingers.
• Users can enable iPhone like tab switching in order to make switching tabs with one finger, more apparent.

The Google Chrome tweak in Cydia is getting applauds from iOS users who love to have full control on their device. There's one thing that might bother you after switching to Chrome. In Safari, it is easy to quickly add ".com" to domain names as you enter them in search or address bar. But, Chrome has the generic keyboard layout and lacks in this feature. So, you will not get access to the same domain shortcuts. In case you want to resolve the issue, there's a free tweak with the name of ChromeURL available, which will bring the familiar Safari browser keyboard layout back.
