It sure is annoying to open up Chrome to those stupid samsung bookmarks. It is listed other places, but i didn't see it in this forum.
I used Titanium Backup to freeze com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
but this is probably the better way: Go into settings then apps find and Disable com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks
once either of those have been done, reboot and the bookmarks should be gone.

i know the browser is synced with my google chrome browser
i'm wondering if i delete some bookmarks that are synced on my phone would they delete on google chrome as well??
it's just that on my phone there are only certain sites i go on my phone compared to my desktop
I'm not a fan of the default calendar app and on previous phones used the Google Calendar. On this one I installed Google Calendar and placed its widget on the homescreen, but when I tap it to open the actual app it opens the HTC one. I can't clear the defaults or disable it to force it to let me pick Google Calendar. Even the debloat threads I've seen don't remove the stock Calendar... For now I'd like to stick with the stock rom, so is there any way to do this?

Have you tried titanium backup and freezing the calendar app?

I'm trying to use the bookmark widget. I place the widget on a screen and get the Choose a Bookmark box but the box is empty. I do have Bookmarks in Chrome. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks.
A lot of people seem to be having the same problem, me included. I found a minor fix for it but it's still a bit annoying.
If you want to add a bookmark to the home screen then first find chrome in Google Play and uninstall the updates. Now you should be able to add bookmarks to your home screen, when you have added all the bookmarks you want you can reinstall the latest chrome updates. Being able to add bookmarks still doesn't work but you have the bookmarks you placed already.
Thanks. That workaround should be good enough.
Attached a screenshot.
How do I get rid of them? They are not in the app list in settings and if I hold down on the icons, the only options are Select Item and Add to Home. If I just tap to open, it just says App does not exist.
I'm not rooted. This happened right after first setup.
Looks like a bookmark that you added to desktop, and then was restored from the cloud incompletely.
Did you use an alternate browser on your previous phone/firmware?
Do these sites appear on your current browser's bookmarks list? Maybe add those to the launcher to see whether it'll "overwrite" these old entries

From a fresh factory reset, before even signing in with my account, and before even connecting to WiFi, I did the de-bloating first. My guess is that something interrupted the process of setting up these shortcuts after debloat.
I never used the browser (chrome). Would these be related to the Samsung browser maybe?
Tried to clear launcher app data&cache?
I ended up just installing the actual apps in the play store, then immediately uninstalling them and that did the trick.
I have Verizon Galaxy s20 Ultra 5G with the latest update and just discovered that I have Chrome set as default browser instead of having a pop-up asking which browser to use, as it was for ages, and when I go to settings, apps and select Chrome it shows that it is set as default and when I tap there I can select another browser from the list but the button' Clear Default ' is missing . The same applies to every browser I have installed. Any help is greatly appreciated
Google is being so annoying lately... I had this same problem and found a solution:
just install a browser that you aren't going to use (or one already on your device) and then set it as the default browser. Then delete that app (uninstall it) and the default browser will be back set to none.
Just super annoying because if you hit the button again later to set a default browser you'll have to do this all over again
