QUICK EDIT: The second image shows what I said about default apps. Just so you know that happens without touching absolutely anything. That happens at the moment I start the google app.
The first image is where it leads me.
So I did a thread about this some time ago but I didn't get any useful answer. So I'm going to say my problem and also clarify some things. (I understand the topic better now)
My problem is that whenever I try to use the normal Google app or access the Google search settings, my phone immediately opens up my default browser. This could be, of course, a Google protocol to simplify navigation but it has this big bug that I don't think is a feature.
I use Nova Launcher and it has a feature to have a persistent Google bar upwards. Whenever I click it to search something, it opens up the browser. It wouldn't really bother me if it didn't have this kind of obligatory open style.
So when I use Google Now to voice search something (for example, 'pictures of baby seals') it immediately without any warning opens up my default browser with the google search box, empty, no results.
I go to settings - Google - Search and that immediately happens. (Galaxy J7)
Basically, everything related with the Google App redirects me without mercy to my browser.
That wouldn't be a problem if it weren't because of the fact that I can't change any Google settings without having to press back every second.
To summarise this a bit, there is some kind of 'no mercy' protocol which instantly associates anything related to search or Google to opening up the default browser.
I have tried to reset default browser, but it instead just asks me (still no mercy style) what App should I use to continue and it shows all my browsers (which are 2) included in one of the pics.
Also, I have 2 friends with Galaxy J7 both, and they don't get anything even related to this error.
What I think is that it might be a bug from the update that happened some days ago (2 I think) for the Samsung Galaxy J7 Metal. If it is indeed a bug, then the only thing we can do is wait until Google fixes it, but I still want to know if it's a problem with the update or problem with some setting that I did.
Thanks in advance.
For the last image, (Google settings) I can only stay there just enough too take a screenshot.
