Set Naver as default Chrome (Android) search engine


You can set your Android phone's Chrome browser to use Naver for all default search results.  Any queries you type in the Chrome URL bar will bring up Naver results, and highlighting a term in another app and using "Web Search" from the three-dot pop-up menu will also search Naver.

It's very easy to set-up:
  1. Visit Naver
  2. Search for literally anything
  3. Open Chrome's top-right "three dot" menu
  4. Choose "Settings"
  5. Choose "Search engine"
  6. Naver will now be a listed choice.


Here's what you'll see in the settings:

That's it! Actually, this works with basically any search engine, including Daum.

You can see I also did this with encrypted.google.com, which not only protects your privacy, but ensures a fully English-language Google experience no matter where you physically are. Good for folks in Korea who get sick and tired of having to always manually tell it to stop using the google.co.kr domain (or when you're logged out and it reverts to Korean as you're in Korea).
