What is adb command to list all the browsers installed on android device?

Question

I wanted to list all the browser package names from android device

Like (chrome, Mozilla and UC browser )

Is there any generalized adb command ?

Answer 1

Depends on your definition of a browser . If it is an app with registered intent filters in the android.intent.category.APP_BROWSER category - you can get the list with the following adb shell command:

for P in $(pm list packages); do test -n "$(dumpsys package ${P#package:} | grep APP_BROWSER)" && echo ${P#package:}; done
