Answer 1

You can check whether an intent to go to a web page can be resolved:

public Boolean isBrowserInstalled() {
    String url = "https://stackoverflow.com";
    Uri webAddress = Uri.parse(url);
    Intent intentWeb = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webAddress);
    return (intentWeb.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null);
}
