I don't think this would make Chrome better but rather make every app that uses this code pretty crummy. What would make Chrome (and iOS) better would be Apple setting up some kind of default app system for links, mail, photo editing etc. Out of very few things, Intent is something that Android still has over iOS. Plus of course Chrome would be better with some Nitro on top :)

How would it make it crummy?

I may have chrome installed, but not want it to be my default browser. That is, in fact the case on my phone.

If apps started doing this, I suppose I could just delete chrome, but as with my Mac, I like having a few different browsers installed.

On your mac, Chrome is a browser with its own render engine, and javascript engine. Thats not the case on iOS.

So, the only reaon to use Chrome on iOS, is because you like the interface better. If not, why keep it installed?
