Yes, my CL is the cause, and the problem is that it changed VIEW handler for URLs. When that happens some phones (not all) think that a new browser is installed, and reset their "default browser" assignment, which leads to a "Select app" dialog next time URL is opened.

This is not specific to Chrome, any browser changing its URL handler would cause the same effect on these phones.

We can't change the VIEW handler back, so there is nothing we can do. We will however remember this issue next time we think of changing the handler.
