    It will open Firefox or whatever your default browser is if you delete chrome or freeze it.

    It won’t open the usual webpage though, it will open and create a new tab in the browser, at least that is the behavior that I face with Firefox Beta.

      For me (on Firefox non-beta) it just opens the in-app browser and shoves ads down my throat. I just checked it, Chrome is disabled and cannot be uninstalled on my phone.

      When I have a page opened in the Google News App, I can tap the menu and select to open the web page from there. Then it gets opened in Firefox.

      I’ve tried this solution and it doesn’t work. Chrome is running within the Google News app. Even if you modify Chrome on your phone to have adblockers, the version of the browser that Google News opens is unmodified.
