Then I uninstalled Chrome, reinstalled it, made it the default browser, and...
The app still opens Silk! No choice is offered.

One related thing that has worked correctly since I bought this device: When I highlight text and from the Wikipedia box select "Go to Wikipedia" it initially gave me a choice of using Chrome or the Wikipedia app. Since I chose Always Chrome, it does always open Wikipedia in Chrome from there.
May be a permissions issue. Long press Chrome icon, choose App info and enable some Permissions, e.g. Contacts seems to be one it has requested in the past.
