[Q] Disable Samsung Stock Internet Browser

[shardsx]

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).
