CAUTION: You will have to be jailbroken to do this. There are already many tutorials on how to jailbreak but if I get enough requests I'll make a quick and easy one.
Anyways on to the tutorial:
1. You will have to download Chrome from the app store and have it already installed
You must login or register to view this content.
2. Go into Cydia and make sure everything is updated.

3. Search for the package called "Browser Changer" (without the quotations)

4. If you wish to be able to disable this program without having to change your setting, I recommend installing the SbSettings toggle.

* I recommend respringing after it has installed to make sure everything is working correctly.
5. Once resprung, go to your settings and you should see a tab for Browser Changer
You must login or register to view this content.
6. Open that and go to Selected Browser and you should Chrome on the list. Choose it and respring.
You must login or register to view this content.
7. Once it has resprung, if you want, go to Cydia and search for the package called "Chromizer"
- This package will add some additional features to Chrome to make it that much better!
- However with this installed, Chrome will not work in Safe Mode.
You must login or register to view this content.
And there you go! Google Chrome is now your default web browser. This also works with any other browser you may download from the app store. Now whenever you open a link from your email or any app, it will open in Chrome instead of Safari.
If you need any help or have any questions with anything requarding iDevices feel free to comment or message me.
As with all iDevice tweaks I take no responsibility for what may happen. Use at your own risk.

I am sure many of you have heard of or are even using the new browser which was recently released on the app store, Google Chrome. I found that I liked using Google Chrome much more that Safari since it loads much faster. However, Safari is the default browser for iOS so I'll show you how to change that and even improve Chrome.
