Opera vs Silk; Setting the "default" browser

I've been toying with Opera a bit, and overall I like the experience much better. Overall it seems about the same speed as Silk, though to be fair it is usually loading the mobile version of the websites rather than the full version. That's an advantage in some respects though, since many sites are a lot easier to read on a 7" screen when they're optimized.

I'd like to keep Silk around in case I continue to run in to trouble with certain sites though (as I do with Gizmodo, for instance) but there's a thing that happens when there are two browsers installed on the Fire that makes doing that a little hard; sometimes when I click a link in either browser, the Fire displays a pop-up asking whether I want to open the link in Silk or Opera. There is a way to set one as the default, but I'm not sure how I would set it back if I wasn't able to use Opera for some things. Anyone know if that's a setting that can be reversed somehow?
