in some scenario you might want to use the native browser instead of letting user chose one, this is how I did to avoid ActivityNotFoundException by different package name, hope this would help :)

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
PackageManager packageManager = currentActivity.getPackageManager();
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
browserIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "text/html");
List list = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(browserIntent, 0);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : list) {
    String activityName = resolveInfo.activityInfo.name;
    if (activityName.contains("BrowserActivity")) {
        browserIntent =
                packageManager.getLaunchIntentForPackage(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName);
        ComponentName comp =
                new ComponentName(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName, resolveInfo.activityInfo.name);
        browserIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
        browserIntent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_BROWSABLE);
        browserIntent.setComponent(comp);
        browserIntent.setData(uri);
    }
}
