Similar thing drives me nuts in GMail for iPad. Every time I open a link, it asks me to download chrome. I say no thanks, and uncheck the default “remind me later” option, yet few weeks later it happens again.

Been going on for a year now.

This is infuriating, and was one thing that motivated me to quit Gmail. I'm much happier now – traditional mail clients like iOS's Mail app work much better with a mail host that implements IMAP properly.
YouTube for iOS does something similar when clicking a hyperlink; it'll give you a popup for what browser, Safari or Chrome, even if Chrome isn't installed.
