how to uninstall samsung internet

[jicksar]

Anyone know how to uninstall or disable Samsung internet?  It keeps hijacking my experience...totally fed up with it and don't want it.  I have a S10.  Help please!

I don't think you can uninstall or disable it since it came preinstalled on the phone when you bought ur phone or i could be wrong

Connect your phone to your PC using ADB, and enter the following:
adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.app.sbrowser

Nice. Do you happen to know a way to completely disable or remove Bixby? I have it off but it still creeps back

[carr0498]

Try looking for Package Disabler in the play store  ... disable anything that has the word "bixby" in it.

Or, you can look at XDA on how to find and uninstall other apps.

Just a word of warning, Bixby is pretty integrated into devices, which might make it difficult to remove without affecting the device's usablity/features.   You're responsible for anything you do, and won't get any support beyond being told to Factory Reset your device if you mess it up.

Package Disabler has been pulled from the Play Store. I use CCSWE App Manager instead.

I didn't know that.  It's too bad.  Was a handy app

Settings/Applications/Samsung Internet/ Storage /Clear cache and empty Data, return to the previous screen and click on Force stop ?

this doesnt work. it turns back on after some time. it's like a curse lol

"Force stop" is just temporary, and either the OS or a reboot (or other trigger) will start it back up.
