Is there a way to disable the stock internet browser completely, or replace it with something else entirely?
I know about setting up other browsers to be the default, but I use Feedly quite a bit and some of the sites I visit works great on my Note 8 which has the older AOSP browser as the built-in brower, and it uses this engine to load websites within Feedly regardless of what other 3rd party browsers I have set as default.
On the Note 12.2, the default browser engine doesn't render some of these sites in Feedly, and I'd like to know if there's a way to disable or replace the built-in web browser with something else?
My Note Pro 12.2 is rooted so I can replace apks if it comes to that. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
With Titanium Backup you can freeze apps so they can not be used. You just need Pro Key for it.
There is this AOSP Browser Installer on Play store for rooted 4.x devices, so it could maby work.. or maby not
Feedly is kinda bad because of this and it is a known issue with it for some time, it will always use the stock browser and if it is missing, some features will not work... Consider some alternatives like Inoreader, NewsBlur, or even Flipboard (that comes with the tablet).
Is there a way for escape the mobile gogle chrome browser downloader?
A few years i am searching, but nothimg.
I don't like com.android.providers.downloads, i never liked this, and today, i have 85% of this trash app, purged, (i used only for test if some app depends of this)
Thanks, or instead, i WILL NEVER use gogle things anymore.

@gazzacbr i forgot, i have xposed download redirection module, and xposed download2sd too, none seems to react to this event.

Hi, not sure what you mean. When i click on any file link i get a choice of ADM or gello mod. I click ADM and 'just once' (sometimes I change my mind) and ADM pops up. Clear the browser defaults?

UC Browser and Dolphin Browser have their own download managers.
You could also try Download Accelerator Plus.

I use "Just Browser". It has decent built-in download manager.
For download accelerator, I heard good things about "Loader Droid download manager" combined with "LD Ultimate Link Interceptor".
Thanks, but, i have multiple browser here, all good, i was interested in a chrome variant named Yandex Browser, just because this browser install addons from firefox,chromestore,and opera addons sites all together, in one on mobile browser, but the downloader crashed my interest i am not interested in third browser or third downloader, i was interested how to brake the download intent on chrome (s) , without extensions on androed.

I was interested on addons feature, that none of browser haves.

I'm not sure why you would need to disable It? Just set Chrome as To The default I think...

You can use package disabler pro to disable if you really want too

Only had the device several hours. I downloaded chrome and even my favorites list came with it. I deleted the Samsung internet app. For sure you can do the same. :good:

Lol I was literally just about to post that I figured it out when I used package disabler
No 3rd party app needed for me, I just went into app mgr, found the Sammy internet and cleared the default. Then was going to click a link hoping it would prompt me to choose Chrome, but when I went in app mgr to check Chrome settings, it was already default...
Why would you get rid of Samsung Internet?
You can use your fingerprint reader or the Iris Scanner (i think) to log in on websites and so on with it, which is a really nice feature. You can't do that with Google Chrome (correct me if i'm wrong on that).
Big Chrome user here but I honestly prefer the UI and the look of the samsung browser. Would definitely switch over to it if I had all my bookmarks and settings synced as easily as Chrome does.

I agree. Samsung browser is also a smoother experience.

Few Key differences between chrome and Samsung Browser.
Chrome : can easily sync your bookmarks, history across devices and is very convinient.
Samsung Broswer: History and bookmarks are synced under samsung email ( I really hate this and want to sync eith google) but fingerprint login to websites, ad blockers which works like a charm and video assistant which works grest on many anime sites is a big plus for me.
I use chrome on my work and personal laptops but samsung broswer on mobile.

Actually just tried this and it worked surprisingly smooth. I may just end up switching to the Samsung browser now to give it a try.

Google chrome autofill Passwords and that is cross platform if you login.

Just uninstall it. On my international version i am able to do it out of the box.
Thanks for the post Sammy Internet is crazy and glad it's gone, use package disabled. Look at this insanity using sammys 'smooth' brower, never had a ad in years, all rooted up and then this thing pops up using sammysnet!
App I used was called
'Service disabler' and it was free, disabled 48 foul things associated in Sammy net

I prefer Chrome (stable) for S8+ in-hand, but Samsung Browser is way, way better for DeX.

whats DeX?
Im using chrome as well - all the passwords etc are somehow synced to the phone. I dont have to do much.
I tried Samsung browser and what i liked was the bar on the buttons = bookmarks. Ease of access but still chose chrome over it.

I got mine at Amazon for less than one-hundred--well worth it! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XR9M1ZP
DeX is basically a docking station for S8/S8+ that turns your phone into a desktop computer. There are some decent reviews of it on YouTube. I use mine on my 4K UHDTV almost every day.

My viewpoint is....
Do you trust Google (overall personal info, browsing, etc)
You have to trust "someone" with this info.
I do, so i try and stick to most of Google apps
(Chrome, Google Assistant etc) where possible.
I prefer Chrome,( alternatively also use Firefox.)
For me, the web browsing History , bookmarking, smart login etc in Chrome suits me.
I can browse/bookmark, on my laptop
and later i can refer back with ease, on my device. (vice versa)
I know other web browsers can also sync, but for me Chrome is so much easier.

Chrome does not have Ad Blocker, no dark theme.
so i use samsung Internet Beta with Ad blocker and dark mode.
The Samsung Internet Browser (even the stock app) can natively use up to 2 ad-block extensions at the same time, no root needed.
These extensions are available just on the Google Play store, for example AdBlockPlus:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.adblockplussbrowser
IMHO today it's not possible to browse the Internet without an ad-block filter... and Google clearly doesn't like it to be available in Chrome...

Adhell is the solution for ads. It blocks them all, even in apps. The best part is when it's running you don't even know it's there.
The top two, are Samsung Internet Beta and Chrome respectively at this moment for me. I find myself using Samsung Internet though, it just feels more fluid to me.

Unfortunately original Adhell has been banned and no longer works, there is currently an Adhell 2 version that however requires you to register with Samsung as a developer to receive a developer license for using Knox, it's a bit complicated to install and to make it work, and moreover Samsung repeatedly tries to block it.

DNS66 No issues with ads on my device.
I use Chrome canary

I registered that developer account when I first got my S8+ and it was very easy. I've tried every Ad blocker there is and AdHell (now Adhell 2)works the best out of all of them.
Is there anyway to copy bookmarks from Samsung browser to their beta browser?
I really like FireFox Focus.

Yandex Browser Is The Best Android Browser

I really like Via Browser, smooth and complete

I use Chrome on all of my devices, so Chrome it is. No idea which data is shared between devices, but it feels rather seemless to swap from PC to android

Firefox can share between PC and android also. I use Firefox with duckduckgo as the search engine, duckduckgo doesn't track your activity so it's more private than anything offered by Google, the addition of select add-ons in Firefox are rather handy also.
