Hey guys,
I have tried using the stock browser on my g3 but when ever I enter a website address it opens in Chrome all the time? Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.
Got to Settings > Apps and tap Clear defaults

Yeah, that was happening to me too. Clear the Data from Settings->App-Google Chrome Beta
On your PC go to your Google Dashboard and
In the Chrome Sync section, Stop Sync and Delete Data from Google
Following the instructions at
http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1181035&topic=1693469&ctx=topic
to disable encryption and then re-enable encryption using either your Google password or a new paraphrase.
I'm pretty sure that those were the steps I took to get rid of the FC but I can't remember totally as I was really sleepy. Either way, I'm not getting that issue any more.
I tried this a few times without success. I was able to access settings immediately after signing in with the link at the bottom of the screen, but couldn't get to the settings through the menu

Same here...I just use either Maxthon Browser or Dolphin HD browser....they are both good...hopefully the Chrome will be ready soon.
I never got it to work. I even tried deleting my app data and going to settings without logging in and it locks up.
Anyone who use Chrome to Phone have issues getting Google Maps sent from laptop to open with the Maps app on my phone
Anytime I send it from my laptop it wants to open the directions in a browser
I cant remember when I used it last but I used to be able to open the links directly in my Maps app
It could have been when had the HTC Desire and not my Galaxy Nexus
clear defaults in browser/maps and try again? might have accidentally selected the browser as the default app for Maps links.
and clear cache and data for Chrome to Phone too. i just tried it and it automatically opens maps for me, doesnt even give me the option to pic browser.

I cleared default settings in the original Nexus browser but when I send links from Maps on my laptop it still just prompts me to choose which browser I want to open the link with
I dont get to choose Maps, just get to choose one of my 4 browsers
I have just noted that if I try and send directions from maps.google.ie on my laptop it will only open in a browser. If I send directions from maps.google.com then I can open them in Google Maps
The "Browser" is retarded slow at connecting to the internet. It's as if I were on dial up even if I'm on WiFi. What gives? Once it connects to a page after literally 2 minutes, then it is somewhat okay. All my other apps that use internet are fast expect the google search app only because it uses the browser to load pages. If I just use FireFox instead as my browswer, its fast as lighting. I love the google app, but there is no way to default it to use Firefox as my default browser. Or can I? How can I get my factory browser to be normal?

Hadn't noticed this at all... can you provide additional details?
What ROM (or Android version) are you running?
Have you tried clearing cache/data for the browser app?
You can set any browser as default... Usually when you install a new browser the start using it you will be asked if you want it to be the default. If not, try this:
1) hit Menu then go to Settings > Apps > All
2) Click 'Browser', then click 'Clear Defaults'
3) attempt to open a web link from anywhere- even from within the stock browser. You'll be prompted asking which browser you want to use, and whether you want that browser to become your default.
I'm rooted on the stock ROM. I'm still on the original version too. It looked way too hard to update it. I didn't know how to do what you said until you told me. I got it and cleared everything. The stock one runs better now and I was able change my default browser also! Thanks! It was Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage apps > All > Browser
My bookmarks stopped working after I updated to Kitkat and turned Google+ off and then on, clearing history and cache. Not sure if one of these actions caused the problem. My husband has the same tablet and his work after Kitkat so could be Google+. Clicking on the bookmarks in the stock browser just opens to google.com. Any ideas?
Could the lock be causing this?

I also noticed that in the address bar there is a star which I would expect and a lock. My husband's does not have a lock. Anyone know how to unlock?
Hey guys
Every time I try to use Chrome I enter a site address and it always opens up in the Stock browser, anyone know how I fix this?
Thanks
Try going to settings-apps-chrome-clear defaults if you haven't.
Edit: I'm sorry I told you wrong. You would need to go to the browser in the app settings and clear defaults.
