Hi GANJAMANYEAH
 
Hope that you are well?
 
I do not own an Android phone but have 'played' with one a while back and if I recall you just go to Settings > Apps > All > Internet > Clear Defaults. Then , the next time you do a search or open a link, you ill be offerred a choice of which app you want to open it with. Select the browser you want from those listed, put a tick in the "Make Default" checkbox and that should make your selected app the default browser.
 
Hope that is correct and helps? ;)
 
Regards

Hello GANJA...I've also had some problems with secureweb. Just a note here that maybe you could clear Webroot cache in Settings and then maybe uninstall SecureWeb and reinstall from from Google Playstore. And try to clear your History settings .

I'm not an expert but maybe you could try these options and I can look into this further.. EDIT...Follow this FIRST...
One more thing is to go into Websecure and click at the bottom of page where settings and change Browser Start page to whatever you want..this should do the trick...so do this first, okay?
Regards,

Unfortunately @ My cell phone used to be a HTC and it was setup that way so now you're settings are different from advice given. .hopefully your solution works..
EDIT:
Forgot to mention I have LG2 which is setup differently..

Salute 🙂
