Google package
Captive Portal Login
Advanced: com.google.android.captiveportallogin Advanced Vendor documentation
The small browser window that opens Wi-Fi sign-in pages at hotels, airports and cafes. You can disable it, with a caveat: read what stops working first.
What it does
Captive Portal Login is part of Google's build of the Network Stack Mainline module. When the phone joins a Wi-Fi network that requires you to sign in or accept terms first, the system detects it and this app opens the network's login page in a simple browser window. It runs only when such a network is detected.
Also shown as CaptivePortalLogin.
If you disable it
Wi-Fi networks that need a sign-in page can no longer be signed into from the notification, so you stay connected without internet on those networks.
How to disable it
On most phones Settings greys out Disable for this package, so ADB is the way to turn it off. The commands below work without root and can be undone.
Disable it (reversible)
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.captiveportalloginTurn it back on
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.captiveportalloginThe stronger option removes it for your user only; the original copy stays on the phone and a factory reset brings it back. Prefer disabling: it is easier to undo.
