I'm annoyed by the exact same thing. Chrome Beta is good, but it is still a beta. For some sites, I've found the built-in browser to be better. A proper UX solution, in my opinion, would be using a 3-4 seconds dialog ("Opening with Chrome") with a Change button. That way, you can change the default app at the moment you notice it. Of course, it comes with a delay, so it wouldn't work well for others.

A 3-4 second delay on every app launch? No way.
Replacing the currently indefinite delay with a 3-4 second one sounds like an improvement.
That only works if you launch the wrong app every time. Extremely unlikely.

I'd rather see a long tap bring up options related to a shortcut.
It's less discoverable than a delay, but it is also far less annoying in the common case.
