Simple and Best Practice

Method 1:

String intentUrl="www.google.com";
Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(intentUrl));
    if(webIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager())!=null){
        startActivity(webIntent);    
    }else{
      /*show Error Toast 
              or 
        Open play store to download browser*/
            }

Method 2:

try{
    String intentUrl="www.google.com";
    Intent webIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(intentUrl));
        startActivity(webIntent);
    }catch (ActivityNotFoundException e){
                /*show Error Toast
                        or
                  Open play store to download browser*/
    }
