Change default browser Bixby uses.

If I ask bixby to search the web, it tells me I need to download samsung internet. I use Firefox and don't want to use samsung internet. How do I make bixby use Firefox?

@privateme: Please try heading to Settings > Apps > Choose default apps > Browser app > Firefox. Let me know if this helps.

It's already the default. Bixby asks me to get samsung internet

Have you ever thought about trying Samsung Internet?

I used to think it was just another unnecessary Samsung app they were pushing on their phones, but since I actually started using it, I have found it to be superior to both chrome and Firefox in many ways.

@privateme: It is possible that Bixby, as a Samsung feature, is optimised for use with the Samsung Internet app while giving voice commands. Why not give it a go, as you should find that it meets the same requirements as your preferred browser app.

I'll maybe try samsung internet. I also don't want it to use Google though for bixby results

"Why not give it a go"...

Except it doesn't, Andrew (who is paid by Samsung) because Samsung doesn't have a Windows browser, so no desktop syncing...  fascilitating the need for two browsers and two bookmark lists.

Samsung is also far too reliant on data hungry partnerships with the likes of Microsoft and Google (amongst hundreds of others) to even be worth considering.

Bixby is decent but the fact it forces you to use the restrictive Samsung Internet, which runs on the Internet destroying Chromium engine is a big no. The same V.A that must have voice wake up on instead of button press to even accept voice related queries (makes zero sense).

This is the same company, remember, that hasn't got its own cloud storage solution, bloats it's phones, bakes systems into its phones that 99% of naive users have no clue about and end up parting their user data to hundreds of partners and advertisers. The same company forcing Google messages down everyone's throat and is always discontinuing its own services, whether it be on their smartphones, TVs or other devices.

Samsung is greedy, like almost any other business, but they're lazy as well.

Yeah, it nsexond that!. I hate it when they force use to use apps and what not

[schroef]

Moderator, do you even try your answer first before state ng them?! 

[schroef]

Not quite. Because how does it sync your browser data over other none Samsung devices?
