So... The reason I like Chrome is that when you launch a URL from Marvin to it, there will be a button in Chrome called "Marvin" that will take you back to Marvin when you tap it - no multitasking gestures and stuff. This is very cool to switch to and from Marvin/Chrome.
Now... in the next update you'll be able to create *custom* in-book menu buttons that can be "programmed" to do anything you like - Google Translate, Wikipedia (any language), Wiktionary (any language), open Nebulous Notes, search in the IMDB app, launch any app you like (assuming it has a URL scheme) and, say, post using Tweetbot or whatever. It is very powerful.
Assuming that the web browser of you choice supports URL schemes, you'll be able to launch it straight from within the book.
Say, you're proof reading and you use a task list manager to keep track of mistakes. If the app has a URL scheme to create tasks, you can select text in Marvin and tap a button to create a task in that app with that text.
If you're not familiar with URL schemes here's a run down. Certain apps may choose to expose URLs they'll react to. For instance the official IMDB app 'listens' to a url with the format "imdb://". If you call "imdb://find?q=eraserhead", the app will launch and look for "eraserhead". Unfortunately, some apps don't expose or support URL schemes (this might be a great opportunity to nag their developers).
