Hello guys as im not sure which section this thread should be in but since I'm p7p user with root i chose to go here.
Here's the problem Im facing.
I downloaded brave browser and set it to default browser.
Yet google (and all it apps like to use chrome for internet traffic like opening website from google feed).
Only possible way to divert everything is by disabling Chrome. But doing that you Will lose saved passwords pop up.
So is there any other possible way to change these settings or maybe a rooted app i can use to change system preferences.
Cheers and thanks
I think it's under settings of the app then open web links like say I clicked a Google search of a Facebook post it would launched the app but when I click the app setting then untick open app I'm not sure but I think it's that just looked at chrome it didn't have it but showed deafult browser so might have to check if brave is selected but yours is the 2nd post I seen about brave browser on 7 pro did you get march update by any chance

Okay on my Rezound running an ICS leak, in the setting section under Apps there is a setting called App Associations.
And in this setting there is something called Web URLS, that lets you set the intent of clicking on web URLS to your browser of choice. Now this setting has the browsers that are installed as choices. But the major problem is that this setting now opens all YouTube links and Play store links with the browser, not the YouTube app or Play Store and doesn't give a choice in the matter.
My question is that is this limited to the Rezound? I don't have these setting choices on my Xoom, but that is running 4.0.0 and I haven't updated it in a while.
Also, how do I get the app to open links? Reseting the default in the app setting for the browser doesn't do anything, it seems as though App Associations takes over for that.
Anybody?
Am I going crazy>?
I don't know the specifics of your phone, but you might try a trick I've used with other apps on other phones (okay, with one app on one phone).
Start off by configuring it to use the youtube player (or whatever site-specific app you want) for web url's. Then launch a link that's not supported by youtube. If you're lucky, it'll come up with a prompt saying 'that's not supported, what app do you want to use instead?'. At that prompt, you'd select the app you want to use for non youtube pages.
Disclaimer: I'm a noob myself with smartphones/tablets, so all of my advice is nothing more than logic-guided guesswork.
Is there any way to fix app association on custom jb roms? Things like opening a file sometimes opening in browser instead of editor or YouTube links opening in browser instead of app.

wouldnt the "clear defaults" function in app manager help?
You go to app manager, choose the default programs that open the chosen links etc and press "clear defaults"
After months I finally found a work around for the HTC app association that is a result of the Apple lawsuit.
As you know HTClinkify caused YouTube Links on FB and the web to open in a browser instead of the app.
I downloaded Android Browser from Play Store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.android.browser
Then went settings>app associations>internet changed it to new Android browser. Also make sure YouTube links are set to YouTube app.
Now when on FB and click a YouTube link it goes to the app. Same thing when I search a YouTube video on Google.
I'm on stock JB 4.1.1 rooted. Let me know if this works for anyone else.
Default browser keeps opening my links even though I've chrome as default.
Everything was fine until one of the recent updates.
Cleared chrome data etc and remade it default in settings.
Default browser still takes over. Even opening links I click in chrome.
No way to freeze that browser without root.
Any idead ?
Sick of Vivo already.
I had the same problem. I got rid of my problem by removing the vivo browser using this info - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/how-to/guide-vivo-nex-s-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3813308
The apk you'll be looking for to uninstall is com.vivo.browser.
There's another article with info on what's safe to remove in case you decide to go postal and start removing apps. Here's the link to that article - https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/how-to/guide-vivo-nex-s-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3813308
Use the apk extractor(back-up) mentioned in the youtube video before you start removing apps.
Hi,
So yesterday my Pixel 2 XL got majorly corrupted so I had to re-install everything from scratch including a full wipe and today I re-installed everything but I'm having issues with opening links now...
Before if I opened a link it would ask me if I wanted to open it in Firefox or Chrome, 90% of the time I would open them with Chrome however links from one specific app I open in Firefox mainly because of adblock on Firefox.
How do I get my phone back to either asking what browser I would like to open the links in or better yet make it so all links from a specific app open in Firefox and every other link/app opens in Chrome?
I've checked WebView, Chrome, Firefox and the app I use and there are no "Default Open with" setup on any of them...
Thanks
If I'm using Chrome and looking something up I might click on a Reddit or news link, it asks you if you want to open it via Chrome or if I have the app installed the that app.
Sometimes it's faster just to view the web page instead so I don't usually choose use app all the time.
Something changed where no longer can select use Chrome just this instance, the pop up comes back and you can only choose the app.
I'm not sure when this changed, if it was the Android 11 upgrade or one of the patches since.
For now I just turned off opening links in apps.
Any ideas if it's a bug or one of the many things Samsung changed in 11?
No problem here, go to Chrome and clear defaults. You might have accidentally tapped always.
