Thank you Sandeep. Yes indeed. I have been struggling a lot to redirect other browser to Google chrome. As other browsers do not have compatible modern component. There are many random cases where i needed to switch from other browsers to Google chrome so that the application works friendly. URL-Scheme is the solution but Google chrome still do not have any kind of URL-Scheme to launch the Google chrome from other browsers. It would be nice to have it. I have done C++ code on old Chromium 46 and it worked but i need it in official Google chrome so that its natively available.

Switching component to something that looks more related to the issue.

Thank you. Proposed. 1. From XXXX browser URL-Scheme is clicked/triggered to compile modern tools such as: https://test.webrtc.org 2. Google chrome receives the URL-Scheme request and ask "Do you want to make Google chrome your default browser"? yes or no 3. on yes Make the Google chrome default browser and then complete the request on no leave the default browser as it was and then complete the request

Stable builds of Chrome have an intent filter for URLs with the scheme googlechrome://. You can try this Intent out with adb from the terminal: adb shell am start -W -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "googlechrome://navigate?url=www.xkcd.org" Perhaps you could try using <a href="googlechrome://navigate?url=test.webrtc.org">? I'm not sure what S Browser's behaviour is here, so maybe when following a link they don't consider resolving it through the Android Intent system. Does it work from another browser (not S Browser)?

Could you do likely do: intent://view<...>;package=<chrome's package> Details: https://developer.chrome.com/multidevice/android/intents The intent:// syntax should likely work. |
