Want to switch browsers but worried about disabling Samsung Internet? This video is your guide!
Disabling Samsung Internet:
App Removal: Disabling Samsung Internet essentially hides the app from your app drawer and prevents it from running in the background. However, it doesn't completely uninstall the app from your device.
Default Browser: If Samsung Internet is set as your default browser, disabling it will prompt your device to revert to another default browser option, such as Google Chrome or Firefox, if available.
System Integration: Samsung Internet may be integrated with certain system features and applications. Disabling it could affect functionalities that rely on the browser, such as opening links from other apps or accessing specific web content.
Force Stopping Samsung Internet:
Temporary Suspension: Force-stopping Samsung Internet forcibly closes the app and stops all its background processes. This action is temporary and doesn't uninstall the app or remove any saved data.
Potential Data Loss: Force-stopping the browser while you have active tabs or downloads may result in data loss or corruption. It's advisable to close any important tabs or finish downloads before force-stopping the app.
App Relaunch: After force-stopping Samsung Internet, the app can typically be relaunched without any permanent consequences. However, any unsaved data or in-progress actions may be lost.
