    Hi,

    I want to delete all internet browsers completely from my smart phone . I've read to do this you need to root the device.
    Double Dutch to me, where can I find someone to root my device and remove internet browsers while leaving me access to app's .
    Phone is a Samsung S8.

    Cheers.

    Why? Also would it not just be easier to disable them and hide them with a launcher if needed.

    What version of Android is running on it?
    Once it is rooted, you can use Termux or Root Uninstaller to remove anything that you don't want on the phone.

    How do you hide them with a launcher?

    Plenty of launchers allow you hide apps such as Lawnchair or Nova.

    I use lawnchair v2 from here (just pick the latest one)

    Librechair is working perfectly now too.

    How many browsers do you have?
    I would have thought only two are difficult to remove (Samsung and Chrome).
