How do I open Internet in Samsung Internet always?

[AC Question]

Every time I use internet and Google then go to page I have to click the dots top right corner and select "open in samsung internet ". I want this to be the default instead of having to change manually every time but haven't been able to change this.

Hello!

Launch the Settings app from your Home screen or from the app drawer.
Tap Applications.
Tap Default applications.
Tap Set as default.
Tap the app for which you'd like to clear defaults. ... (will be web browser set to Chrome)
Tap Clear Defaults.

Open Samsung Browser > When it asks for default application choose Samsung browser "always."

This isn't working. Anything from the Google search bar opens in its own little browser, kind of like Facebook. I don't know what the browsers name is but it crashes everytime I open a link from it. I've disabled Chrome, and obviously chosen Samsung internet as my default browser but this mini browser still takes over after Google searches. Alternatively, is there another search bar widget I can use?
Samsung Galaxy Note8. Thank you in advance! Pam

Instructions are way off. To begin with, there is no Apps tab in Android settings. The tabs are as follows... (At least there is not such a tab on my Galaxy Tab 4)

• Connections
• Device
• Controls
• General

Default app settings is found in...
Default tab>Device manager Section (left pane)>Default Applications

Furthermore, the Q/A Team did not pay attention to the initial post. They simply regurgitated the standard instructions for setting defaults. And that, of course, is not helpful. (If you do not know the resolution to a problem. Do not pretend you do.)

The problem, as I see it, is this...
Android will set your default browser without a problem the first time. However, there is a bug in the Android OS. Once you decide to change that default, you must clear the existing default browser. After you clear the default, you cannot set a new default.
In my case, I set Samsung Internet as my default browser when I first setup my tablet. Later I downloaded Chrome, cleared the default browser and selected Chrome as my new default. The next time I clicked a web link, I was presented with the Default Setup dialogue again. I selected Chrome again and then went to settings. I discovered that there was no default web browser listed. I cleared all the defaults and restarted my device. Then I reset the default apps for everything. But Android still failed to register Chrome as my default web browser. Next, I tried setting Samsung Internet as the default. The same problem persisted.
There is only one possible solution remaining to me and that is to do a Factory Data Reset. This option carries substantial risks and I have chosen to live with the nuisance of having to select a default everytime, rather than risk the headaches of getting my device setup again. (I have a cell network capable tablet and that carries a whole different set of problems.)

I did a "force stop" on Google Chrome app, restarted, and it reverted to opening in Samsung Internet.

I have been trying to figure this out on my note 9 for days. It worked like it's supposed to when I bought the phone and set it up for the first time. Then I factory reset it and it wouldn't open in Samsung internet anymore when i clicked on a search result from Google like it did before i did the reset. Anyways what I did on my phone was at the bottom of the page the the Google search results are on is some buttons for recent pages, search, updates and discover in the right bottom corner click on the 3 dots and then click on settings then general then click on open web pages in the app to turn it off. Worked like a charm for me which none of the other solutions I found on the web did short of disabling Google which I wanted to keep as my search engine but wanted Samsung internet as my browser.

I finally figured this one out!

-Go to the little "OK google" app on your phone.
- Go to "more" in the lower left hand corner
- Go to settings
- Go to "general"
- and then TURN OFF "open web pages in the app"

And there you have it! Your phone should open up in Samsung Internet now!
