Android 8.0 how to make browser default in all cases?

Post by danwat1234 »

I have it configured as default. But when i open links from the Google app, which has newsfeed links. It always opens it up in Chrome, then I have to open in Adblock Plus browser. See this screen capture video;

How do i get the system to ALWAYS use the Adblock browser, or should i install the global Adblock software to block ads all the time? Edit: wait that's not a thing.


Also, I still do not see any functionality to backup all my bookmarks from my Android device so i can migrate it to a new device. I don't understand why this isn't possible.

Ah ha! Have to disable 'Open web pages in the app' option within the Google feed app.
Now, what about web links from the Facebook and Twitter app, they still don't open with adblock browser.
