I have Dolphin set as my default browser. This works fine when I click web urls in other apps, but if I read an NFC tag with a web url on it, it always opens in chrome. Likewise, if I usse "Android Beam" to send a web page from another device, it opens in Chrome. How do I set a different browser as default for NFC urls?

Settings>Apps->Chrome->Clear Defaults
This should enable you to then choose Dolphin as your default browser again and have it stay this time.

Nope. In Chrome App Info it says there are no defaults set for chrome.
For some reason, android doesn't recognize Dolphin or Aurora as apps capable of opening urls from NFC tags, so as the only recognized app, Chrome was opening automatically. Installed AOSP browser, and then it gave me a choice, and I could set a default (but only between Chrome and AOSP).
How do you change or clear defaults for the NFC functions? Right now when I beam a webpage from Chrome to my phone, the phone uses Firefox to open (prior to installing Firefox it used Opera Mini) and it never asked me to choose a default app. I wnat Chrome to be the default app for receiving URLs/links via NFC or beam. How do I change this?
bump, anyone know why Opera/Firefox opens as the default browser when sending NFC links using Chrome? I want Chrome to be the default for NFC but can't find where to control that

Same issue. Happens on both Nexus 5 & Nexus 7. Can't find a solution.
On my GS3 there was the option under the Google account settings to sync Chrome boomarks with stock Android browser but on my GS4 there isn't this option. How can I sync Chrome bookmarks with default browser?
Thanks

I would love to know the answer to this to, and how to enable flash support on the default browser like how it used to work on the GS3?
Read somewhere that they removed the option. When you're rooted, you can install the AOSP browser with google sync (zip file). Should be somewhere in the themes and apps section.

I am trying to get my bookmarks on my phone from my chrome browser on my computer but there is no option in the syncing to sync with your google account. I don't wish to use the Chrome browser all the time and besides having your bookmarks in chrome from your requires you to keep sync enabled and I don't want to as that uses battery that I don't want to spend. So is there anyway to sync your stock browser with chrome from your desktop for bookmarks to be on the phone?
I just started looking into this last night myself and so far haven't found a solution. Looks like it's a known issue though... keep us posted if you find a resolution.
i use the chrome browser on my PC and the stock aosp browser on my S4. both browsers are signed in to my gmail. bookmarks sync perfectly. as a matter of fact, hyperlinks sync as well. if i view an xda thread on my device, it shows it as read on my PC.
I have been trying to get my browser to sync up. So it loads my bookmarks but under Google there is not a browser sync function. How do you get it to sync up and load them? Also how do you remove the bookmarks preinstalled?
I'd like to know this also. There's no Google internet sync option that I can find. Can't even add Google as an account in the browser

Are you using Google Chrome or the stock browser?

Hello everyone,
I couldn't figure out why, whenever an installation of an app finishes or whenever I remove one google web page opens up by itself. I use Samsung's web browser and I would like to know how to stop it. Anyone have a suggestion?
