    So is there a way or an app that allows you to set which browser an app uses ?
    For example could you make one app use chrome & another use opera ?

    They will generally just use the default one set...

    Must apps use a version of webview (google). Which is installed as a system app on most devices.

    Usually you can use the menu in the app to open the link/page in your browser of choice.

    Go to apps in settings then the defaults section.

    You need to set default browser to none. Then when you click a link that would normally open in a browser you will get to select which browser to use.

    Just tap the browser twice to open, or you can tap once then tap always use.

    I think if you tap always use then that sets the browser as default for the system, not just for that app so you will probably need to keep it with no default browser to always get the choice but play around with it and see if it keeps it as a default just for the app you opened it from.
