Hence, any link you select to highlight and search in an app or even in Chrome will open in Safari. To solve this problem, you need to set Chrome as the default browser on iOS, as shown below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Change_Default_Browser_to_Chrome\"><\/span>1.

However, the same is available once you install any other browser on the device. Here&#8217;s how to set Chrome as the default browser:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on your iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><meta charset=\"utf-8\"><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Scroll down to <strong>Chrome<\/strong>.

You can use it to select and search text from any app or document on Google. However, since it&#8217;s a native service offered by macOS, it always opens Safari, even if Chrome is the default browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there&#8217;s no immediate solution to it, there are some workarounds you can try to get rid of the problem.

But what you can do instead is create a separate service that lets you directly search with Google in Chrome from the menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the same, you need to create a <strong>Chrome shortcut for &#8220;Search with Google.&#8221;<\/strong> Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Open <strong>Automator<\/strong> on your Mac.

However, with someone starting with Mac, it would be a tough decision to pick between Chrome and Safari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chrome leaves Safari far behind when it comes to customization and features, thanks to a massive library of extensions, themes, and other personalization options. It also has an intuitive interface and an easier learning curve. You can sync it across devices, be it iOS, Mac, or Windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, Safari hits back with its deep integration in macOS, iPadOS, and iOS. It&#8217;s also the more optimized of the duo and consumes less battery and overall resources. And when it comes to privacy, there&#8217;s no beating Safari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, it all boils down to what you prefer and what ecosystem you&#8217;re a part of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope the above guide helps you Search with Google for highlighted text directly in Google Chrome instead of Safari on Mac or iOS.
