1. Download the UpTime Web Browser app 2. Disable Safari by opening Settings.app, tapping General, tapping Restrictions, and finally setting the Safari switch to the off position. Then open any link. 3. iOS will display a pop-up asking if the user would like to open the UpTime Web Browser app. Now all links will open in Chrome.

Interesting that people are pushing the limits of iOS to do new things but I'm probably the only one that doesn't think this is necessary. Safari works great, is fast, doesn't abuse my privacy like Chrome and is battery efficient - I may consider using Firefox on iOS if it was supported without using yet another app (but would never switch to Chrome).

@exlemor Your browser preference is irrelevant.

Hi everyone 👋 Thanks for checking out UpTime. I know many of you are running the iOS 12 beta. Apple moved things around bit but it still works. Replace Step 2 above with: ... 2. Open Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Allowed Apps > Turn Safari Off ... Cheers!

This should be great thing for people like me who wants to use chrome instead of safari. One more thing "Call Recorder App" and will switch to iOS back :D
