Go into settings/apps and disable the stock browser.

Which one do you guys prefer? I am curious to hear everyone's input.
I prefer chrome beta. Nice to have my bookmarks synced to my phone. Is also pretty quick and I like tab management.

Is chrome any slower than stock?
Also how do you set chrome as default for Search , links, etc? I've tried clearing defaults for the stock internet app, but it doesn't work.

I use Chrome on my 3D and love it. I do however still keep the stock browser for flash links.
Also can anyone confirm if there are any graphical issues with Chrome on the LTE? I had them with my 3D but it could be because the ICS was a leaked ROM.

I haven't had any graphical issue. I just can't seem to figure out how to change the default browser. No matter how many different browser I install, my links and search default to the HTC stock. Just did a factory reset and it didn't seem to help.

If you want to set it as the default you have to go to the new menu. This is the whole reason the phones were delayed. Check this link for pictures and instructions. http://www.pocketables.com/2012/05/how-htc-has-side-stepped-apples-patent-in-the-htc-evo-4g-lte.html

I like chrome but the only problem I've had is downloads not showing up in the notification bar until they are completed. I don't get to see any progress. I also can't get the Send Feedback option in settings to work. I tap it and it does nothing.
How do you guys set YouTube as default instead of browser?

I like chrome better than the stock browser, but I like the Firefox Beta even more. Check it out: its extremely quick and full featured. It struggles with flash (but really, you won't use that often anyways), as it's still beta, but every thing else works great.
what am I missing about people liking chrome for Google bookmark syncing? I mean, the stock/HTC browser has all my Google bookmarks synced.

Chrome also syncs open tabs between all your devices and can open more than 6 tabs which is all the stock HTC one can open.

For some reason, my sync shows that Internet sync is broken. I think it is related to the fact that I use Google Authenticator. Plus Chrome just seems to work a little nicer in regards to basic operation.

Has anyone else noticed that the browser seems to steal away intents from other apps?
For instance, if Google Now has showed me directions somewhere and I click the map (not the Navigate option), the directions are opened in the browser, not Maps. And it doesn't give me the choice. I've tried clearing defaults in a few different things, but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm also seeing this in a reddit widget I have. On other devices, I can click a link and it would give me the option to open in the browser, or a reddit app of my choice. On the DNA it goes straight to the browser, no options.
I'm running UKB 1.1, but I'm pretty sure this happened on stock.
Anybody else?
Go to settings and look at your app associations.

Well, "Physical address" is set for Maps, "Map address" is set for Maps, and "Web URLs" is set for Internet (which is the only option). But I don't think that explains why Google Now is opening a map in the browser.
I'm guessing these Sense associations are overriding Android natural intent system?
I wouldn't doubt that is happening. I find that happens a lot with sense which is one reason I'm not a huge fan of it in general.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I accidentally clicked on the browser as the default app to open address links. Now when I click on an address it opens Google maps in the browser rather than opening the Google maps app. How can I make it so Maps will be the default app again? Looked through all all the settings and I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks

Go to settings–>apps and select all apps. Find the browser and click on clear defaults under the launch by default setting.

Figured it out. Had to clear the defaults to the Maps app instead of the browser. Thanks though!

Is there a way I can get my phone to prompt me for which email client I want to use when clicking an email link? Under settings in App Associations I have it set to the built in email.apk, however I can only change it to Gmail, I want to clear it completely so it will ask me. Right now I have to cut the email address and paste it into Gmail if that's what I want to use. Is there an app that can do this?

Thanks for the response, unfortunately I tried that already and it just goes right back, I believe because it's set under App Associations.

I've never heard of a settings section for app associations. Which ROM are you on?

I've hardly had either installed. Looks like you should be able to set it to Gmail just fine, though I think I remember reading recently that app associations were screwed up on sense 4+.You could always disable the stock email app in settings as well.

I use the stock email app for my work Exchange account and Gmail for my personal email. I often work from my phone so I would like to find a way to have my phone prompt me for which account I would like to send from everytime I click an email address or mailto link. I have been trying to look for an app that can do it but haven't had any luck. Maybe Tasker could do it?

I don't think tasker has that ability. Have you checked the viper ROM thread to see if anyone else had the same problem?
Hi, Just got myself an Xperia Z2 D6503 and noticed that when ever I open google chrome, it automatically goes to a Sony Xperia Z2 website.
Also, when I close the last tab, it closes the program! Highly annoying when it should simply show a blank screen and let me open bookmarks/new page.
I tried to delete chrome using Titanium Backup, but it reinstalls instantly!
I then attempted to freeze it with Titanium Backup, then installed Chrome Beta, but that does exactly the same thing!
Please help!
I would like Chrome to work exactly as it should in stock form!
Go into the Chrome settings and turn homepage off. Then Chrome behaves how you want it to!

Didn't see that in settings before...oops!
All sorted.

I can't seem to find this setting but also have the issue that the OP has and want to fix it.
