My story on nougat stock rooted which is irrelevant. So one day Advance download manager app would not intercept downloads any longer using chrome or chrome beta or any other browser. This was driving me insane, factory reset showed to seem have fixed it where advance download manager would intercept downloads but updating like 40 apps through playstore it was hard to determine who was the culprit. So I did a fresh install last night and today I was finishing up completing everything on my phone to set it up like how I like it. Well well, I updated like 7 apps where prior ADM would intercept downloads and after the 7 app update ADM would not intercept downloads, I uninstalled all the 7 updates and updated one by one and guess what? ADM intercepted downloads when I uninstalled chrome and chrome beta updates!
"oh yea, I restored chome beta 68.0.3440.70 from a titanium backup, ADM intercepted downloads"
So I went through apk mirror and installed from what I had backed up from titanium backup chrome beta 68.0.3440.70 and in through into chrome beta 69.0.3497.24-349702452, chrome beta 69.0.3497.24-349702452 is the dead end for Advance download manager for intercepting downloads.
So, anything prior of chrome beta 69.0.3497.24-349702452 and "regular chrome" updates uninstalled, I am able to intercept downloads with advance download manager.
If anyone with this problem hope I can help.
Chrome Beta 68.0.3440.70 is the file you need.
I sent feedback to google through help & feedback oprion in chrome beta.
I sent the above typed.
same question :crying:
Chrome 69+ only download file with chrome download manager ...

Yup, and i CANNOT believe that there is only me and prob u that recognizes this absolutely irritating problem.
There has to be more ppl than 2 that uses chrome beta and a second downloader app.

I found this article when trying to find the solution for this problem in google. i just try to solve with Lucky Patcher (disable download manager), change xml , config chrome flags..... but no thing works..
And now i'm roll back to GC 68
Switching To Firefox AGAIN
Google ****ed up.
I tried resetting chrome and uninstalling, reinstalling adm. I lost my bottom navbar even and its back top.
I am now just using "copy link address" and if link is ONLY clickable, then I have to view the web in ADM browser. It SUCKS. thx for telling me this is chrome's fault. And hopefully tell me how to make the toolbar back at bottom. Peace out. Mozilla the way rn.

D'Oh! Thank you to everyone who read this. Simply clearing the cookies prevented the site from redirecting me to nirvana. Sorry for wasting your time!
I'll keep this here though, so anyone else suffering the same situation can find it.
Hi folks,
I'm afraid this is one of the rare ocassions for me when intense googling doesn't reveal a proper solution - or I'm missing the proper search terms.
I recently installed then uninstalled the app "Doodle Scheduling", the Android App to use the popular Doodle.com Meeting Planner.
The app offers an option to redirect any link related to Doodle back to the app, so that you can use the app instead of the website when someone mails you a Doodle link. (This basically works like Play Store links, when the browser asks you, wether youd like to open them in the Play app or in browser.)
While this option worked pretty well (actually the only feature of the app that worked as expected) I decided to dump the app, as it is probably the worst app I ever encountered.
Contrary to any other Android app that uninstalls without leaving any traces on the device, the Doodle app decided to keep the browser redirect hook. Now whenever I try to open a Doodle link the URL changes from "http://..." to "doodle-redirect://..." and the browser displays an error message like "You are not allowed to open this site" (My error message is in German).
Where in the android system are those redirect hooks managed? I'm rooted, so I 'm able to change config files all over the system. I'd be more than happy if someone could provide me with a hint, since at the moment I'm not able to use doodle at all from my phone. I am not willing to erase browser data as all my bookmarks would go down the drain as well...
Details if needed:
Motorola Defy
CM7.2
Stock Browser
Miren Browser (Problem exists in both browsers, Stock browser usually freezed via Titanium)
Thank you very much in advance,

this type of settings is usually reset by going to Settings/Applications/ and pressing the "Clear defaults" button in the individual app settings, maybe the same trick would work in your case - ie. you could try to reinstall the app, and clear it's defaults before uninstalling?
Thank you for your solution. Unfortunately that was not the thing, as I hadn't had that application installed so I couldn't clear any defaults.
However I found the solution and wrote it above the first post.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to read my post!
Hello everyone, I've got a question. Sometimes while searching on google I find a forum post (usually about Android or something like that) and I click on it, and it loads up a porn website ad! I have to go back and then click the link again! I have no idea how this is happening.
I don't download any warez on my phone, all my apps are off the market.
It's independent of the browser. I've used Opera, firefox, and chrome.
I thought "OK, maybe I have downloaded SOMETHING incorrectly!" so I flashed my device and EVERYTHING is stock and ALL the apps are reloaded by themselves from the Play Store restore feature upon turning on the device.
I clicked a link that went to androidforums.com and I my device automatically started downloading an APK! It was called "hotvideos-rm-rp1.apk" and I thought WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HAPPENING!
What can I do to stop this? This is absurd! I've never used my phone to look at any porn! I don't have any warez or cracked apps or anything like that.
Can anyone help me? This is starting to bother me deeply.
I'm on a Galaxy Note 4.0.4 stock configuration.
Thank you SO much in advance!
hi, check exactly what apps are being restored by playstore, add adblock or simliar if possible, backup pictures,vidoes,music, contacts etc from sdcard and then format sdcard..........btw i`m not talking from experience, i`m just suggesting some steps to follow......hope it solves your problem
I suggest you download adsfree from market to stop those anoying porn ads, adsfree require root. Another way is using and airpush to detect which are bad ads apps and uninstall them all. Hope that help.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I knew all the apps that were installed, I guess one of them must be buggy. I had backed up my stuff and just reflashed my device and including the SD card, and just resyncing some information over (of course all google information) and then no pictures or videos. I just started anew. It still happened. Thanks though.

I don't have root,but I tried the app Airpush and it didn't find anything. But I did uninstall 5 or 6 apps yesterday before installing Airpush to see if I had any bad apps. I guess it's possible the app isn't installed anymore. But I haven't done much browsing of the web to see if the issue is remedied. Hopefully it is.
Thanks for your advice. I'll report back with the apps I've uninstalled if it turns out to be one of them that was the problem. I've got a 3 hour bus ride today to another city and I'm going to using my phone a lot to browse! Thanks again .
For some reason I'm having a hard time locating the Google chrome apk. I was only able to find the chrome beta apk. Can anyone direct me towards the non beta apk or does anyone have it?
Thanks in advance

here ya go
here ya go works just fine on mine, just can't sync with desktop cause of Amazon not having the google account thing /sh/mjkwzywnsfbpude/QgGJPmgod9/chrome.apk
Just add www . dropbox . com to the front of that
Interesting. i installed the chrome apk downloaded from apktop.com, and while it installed OK, it told me that it couldn't run due to missing crucial system features. Then it closed.
I have gmail and play store set up and configured, I'm not sure what it's complaining about.

i've not had that problem, but did you try to set up the sync option, because that'll force close since the google account framework thing isn't there thanks to amazon... without doing that it's still a better browser by far compared to silk lol
Thanks a lot for the apk.
KFHD
thanks for the apk mate, been long looking for this one :highfive:
Any way to get onscreen tabs like the Nexus 7 or any other 10 inch tablet. I think it looks nicer and it makes it easier to switch tabs.
Remove Silk
Thanks for the APK - works great! With this now as my default browser (and nixxing Amazon Silk), I finally got my gPlay to work past the user agreement and stop crashing.
I went in and changed /system/app/HTMLViewer.apk to .bak then 'adb reboot' to nixx Amazon Silk.
Can someone repost that .apk? The link is broken and I'm desperate for better browsing.
Thanks

You can get both the Stable & Beta versions from these links, to get the .apk use the drop down arrow next to the "Install" button & select "to PC" to download the file
Chrome Stable - http://www.1mobile.com/chrome-343054.html
Chrome Beta - http://www.1mobile.com/chrome-beta-723346.html
I don't know about you guys, but I used to have all app links (play store links, youtube links, etc.) and downloads start in the stock browser by default in MIUI 6, with no way to open them in app. After posting on the MIUI english forums, I found a temporary workaround.
You'll have to uninstall the stock Browser app (I prefer Chrome anyway). Then clicking on app links or download links will give you the app chooser dialog.
(If you are unwilling to uninstall your stock Browser, move on...I can't help you...)
For this, you'll need root access (if you got MIUI 6 you're on the Dev fw, and have root access anyway). Use an app with root uninstaller capabilities (I use ES File Explorer)
(Oh, and the stock Browser will get reinstalled after every update, so you'll have to repeat this every week till the Xiaomi devs actually fix this)
EDIT: 4.9.26 update DID NOT reinstall Stock Browser for some reason...didn't have to do all this again!
Freeze/Disable
For me, It reinstalls the stock browser at every boot/reboot. Hence, uninstalling didn't solve the problem.
The only solution I've found so far is to Freeze the app using Titanium Backup. (needs Donate version)
Let me know if the app can be freezed using some other free app. Thanks
You can also set chrome as default in setting..that way you don't need to uninstall stock browser
Setting Chrome as default doesn't help. It will still open external links in stock browser.
Please try to understand the problem @sbr
That is why we are having a discussion here. Freezing is the only solution.

even with chrome set as default the stock browser will still intercept certain types of links. usually those shortened links for youtube,maps,play store.
i did the same too. uninstall after every reboot

Hey everyone. I wasn't able to find a fix online so I figured I'd ask the experts on XDA.
Issue: 1- When I click on an article on my Google feed nothing happens.
2- When I use Google search and click one of the results nothing happens.
Chrome works, Samsung Internet works, and Edge works.
What I've tried: Deleting the storage on the Google app. No dice.
I don't have the same issue on my old S22 Ultra or my Tab S7 Plus.
Has anyone seen this before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Shot in the dark, but do you maybe not have a default internet browser selected? Or did it default to something else somehow that can't open a link? Can you open links from other apps? You could install duckduckgo and see if it'll open in that one maybe.
I would just uninstall Chrome and Google News and just start over.

No dice. But I love duckduckgo thanks for recommending it.
Google news do not use external browser sadly, it needs webview. Try to clear the cache and data from webview app or update it.

My Google News app works just fine. It's the feed all the way to the left of my launcher that's messed up. Is that what you mean?

I literally had this myself for a week, then yesterday it suddenly started to work. When it first began I tried all the recommended stuff like clearing caches and so on, but nothing helped. I wish I could help but I myself am baffled as to how it came to work again.

What if you try to access it from Chrome homescreen ? Under the search bar, there's a "Discover" section which practically is a Google Feed. Does it work ?
Have you tried updating Google App & Android Webview manually ?
Have you allow all permissions for Google app ?

It works in Chrome. All permissions allowed. Google app and Android Webview updated.

I stand corrected I lied I hadn't updated the Google App. Thought I had but I have the beta. I updated it and now it works as expected. Thanks a million. You really made my day.
