I love my MacBook but I'm not a huge fan of Mail. Can I make GMail in Chrome the default email application for Yosemite so that when I click on email links I am sent to a new draft there?
I've done this before on other systems.

You can try using the AppleScript found on this page.
I just tried it out and it perfectly works fine in Chrome 12.0.742.122.
It's extremely easy to set up:
- download the Bundle archive
- double click it to unpack it
- double click on
OpenUrlInNewChromeWindow - open Safari and set the new "Browser" as the default browser in the Preferences.
This is not possible on iOS 13 and lower. (Or iPadOS 13 or lower)
In order to utilize email functionalities from within apps, you will have to enable the Apple Mail app. I recommend turning off all notifications for Mail if you want to use the Gmail app as your primary iPhone mail client.

To Set default protocol handler in your chrome browser, visit any web app or website which support protocol handlers (For ex: Gmail for mailto:, Google Calendar for webcal: ) and you’ll see Protocol handler icon <<>> on right side of your address bar, click that icon to set default handler.
