For example, consider accessing a URL that your friend has sent you via email, or WhatsApp. In such cases, the link generally opens up in the default browser. While that\u2019s not an issue, doing this instantly takes you to Chrome. And once you\u2019re done viewing the link in Chrome, you have to manually change back to the app you were using.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a clear Android app that lets your open links in Chrome without leaving apps. With\u00a0Chromer, you can rapidly access links as you would in Chrome, and quickly return back to whatever you were doing.<\/p>\n[ad type=&#8221;banner&#8221;]\n<h4 id=\"chromer\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Chromer:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Chromer simplifies a developer oriented\u00a0feature of Chrome,\u00a0called\u00a0<strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/multidevice\/android\/customtabs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrome Custom Tabs<\/a>.<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0Chrome Custom Tabs allow any app to launch a simplified version of Chrome for viewing any URL\/link, without requiring the full Chrome browser app to be released. So, Chromer gives apps\u00a0their own mini-version of Chrome for accessing links.<\/p>\n<p>Using Chromer definitely makes logic, as it makes viewing links and URLs highly convenient. You don\u2019t have to manually switch back to the original app you were using, and your Android phone doesn\u2019t have to allow with the above of launching another app. Chromer uses Chrome\u2019s rendering engine, and also gives access to standard Chrome features like saved passwords, auto-fill information, and security updates.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"how-to-use-chromer-to-view-links-in-chrome-without-leaving-apps\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>How to use Chromer to view links in Chrome without leaving apps:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 id=\"step-1\"><span style=\"color: #99cc00;\"><strong>Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When you run Chromer for the first time post installation, the first thing is to set it as the default browser<strong>.\u00a0<\/strong>For this, tap the<strong>\u00a0Set Default Browser\u00a0<\/strong>button, and select Chromer from the list.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1-311.png\" alt=\"Chromer For Android: Open Links in Chrome Without Leaving Apps\" width=\"350\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1-311.png 350w, https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1-311-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n[ad type=&#8221;banner&#8221;]\n<p><strong>Note:\u00a0<\/strong>If the above method doesn\u2019t work, we can alternatively set Chromer as the default browser through Android settings.<\/p>\n<p>Go to\u00a0<strong>Settings &gt; Apps<\/strong>, and tap\u00a0on the \u201c<strong>Gear<\/strong>\u201d icon on the top right corner.

These are mentioned below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chromer can scan your Android device\u2019s screen for links\/URLs, and load them in the background for faster access. Moreover, the app can be configured to load links in the background,\u00a0only over Wi-Fi, in order to\u00a0conserve mobile data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-20243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3-235.png\" alt=\"Chromer For Android: Open Links in Chrome Without Leaving Apps\" width=\"350\" height=\"622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3-235.png 350w, https:\/\/www.wikitechy.com\/technology\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/3-235-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n[ad type=&#8221;banner&#8221;]\n<ul>\n<li>You can directly do a text or voice search (via Google) from within Chromer.<\/li>\n<li>As a secondary action, you can choose to open accessed links in another browser, or share them via other (configurable within Chromer) apps.<\/li>\n<li>Per\u00a0the latest tested version (1.5), Chromer can give Chrome custom tab toolbar, a color based on the app from which the link is accessed.<\/li>\n<li>There is even a web heads feature like Facebook Messenger\u2019s chat heads that lets you\u00a0<strong>stack multiple links as floating bubbles, for accessing them later<\/strong>.
