Set default browser to none

[prajg]

How do I set the default browser to None? There is no such option in settings.

[realaud]

You cannot.  Why does it matter which one is your default?  You can still open any browser you want.  The default is the one that will open when you click any particular link in an app, message. QR code, or email.  If you want to decide which app opens with that particular link, you can just copy and paste the link into the one you want to use.  Even if you reset/clear the defaults, it will always revert back to Samsung internet as the default browser (It's a Samsung phone).  So, just pick the one you generally like best and make it the default.

Because it used to be a feature where you click on a link and it asks which browser it opens.
Seems unnecessary to perform several steps when it was possible easily

On any phone (or computer) I ever had, you did not get to make a choice in the moment, so I don't know which devices you had that did this.  There was always a default browser set (usually the one that came pre-installed.) If one wanted to use a different browser as their default, they downloaded it and selected it as their default.

Over the past 25+ years, I have never had a smart phone ask me in the moment which browser I wanted to use to open a link.  I have been asked when I installed a new browser if I wanted to make it the default.  It would be more of an annoyance to be asked each time I clicked a link which browser I wanted to use, rather than just choose a default and copy and paste an occasional link if I didn't want to use the default for whatever reason.

This is what I meant. It will list all available apps and let the user choose. As long as you didn't select Always, the pop up appeared every time I clicked on a link.

[realaud]

At some point you must have hit always. You would have to reset defaults to get back to that. Why you would want the annoyance of that, I can't imagine

They Should Remove DuckGo it's a Waste of time, same information as Google, I think it's a Remote App. My comment

[realaud]

Samsung did not put DuckDuckGo on the phone, the user did, presumably because they wanted it there.  DDG has the same features as all the other browsers, EXCEPT tracking.  One uses it when they don't want targeted advertising or tracking where they go next.

Right, I installed it. On a side note, their windows version (Chrome with poorly designed UI) is bad. It just published all the history to my Google account linked to Chrome

[realaud]

That is because Chrome is a Google product.  All Google products are linked.  When you log into your Google account, you will see your location history (unless you turned it off), your browsing history, etc.  You can delete it at any time and you can set it to auto delete after 30 days.  I think these days the auto delete after 30 days is on automatically.  When you use Chrome, all your favorites, history and settings are synced between devices so you have the same experience on each device you use and have Chrome installed on--same with Firefox and Edge and, no doubt, Samsung Internet between Samsung devices. You can turn off syncing, if you desire.
