Stock browser?

[gloriousnumber1]

When I'm using the Facebook app and click a link, instead of opening up in Chrome which is the only one I use, it opens up some other browser. I can't find any stock browser on my phone to disable, so how do I make Chrome the default browser and shut off this other one?

Chrome is all I've used for years so this is odd to me. Thanks in advance for the help

Try searching apps for "internet"

I did, and I've looked thoroughly through my apps through settings and can't find anything disabled or otherwise. Could the FB app have it's own browser built into it?

Yes, a recent FB update (I believe 2 or 3 ago) introduced a built in browser.

I have not read through this at all, but found it in a search so it may or may not work: http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-...its-built-in-browser-Android-tutorial_id62313

Here's a couple reports about this change:

You can switch it off in Facebook app settings.

You can switch it off in Facebook app settings.

Seems there is no such button on the app setting page.
