How to change default browser on iPad

It is easy to make default app to others on Android OS. However, if you have installed third-party app on iOS, it is no setting to change the default browser or mail, and you have to manually redirect to use the third-party browser over Safari. I am perfect like using Atomic, Dolphin, Opera Mini, Atomic, iCab Mobile, Skyfire or Google's Chrome browser. Is there a way to make Chrome as the default browser on my iPad 2? I really need the feature.

Browser Changer is a simple tweak that can change to popular third-party app. After installed it from Cydia, tap Settings > BrowserChooser > Select browser, and choose what you want to use.
