How can I address the Samsung Android browser?

I'm working on a responsive website and I have a weird CSS/JS issue with the default touchwiz browser of Android Samsung devices. I've searched on StackOverflow, finding some unhelpful answers like this.

I have the physical devices to test on, but since it's not possible to do remote debugging on these browsers it's really time consuming to make changes, deploy them a QA server, test, and retry.

Any idea on how can I speed up my testing or targeting that specific browsers?

Useragent is not helping in my case...

Just to make an example: one of the many problems I'm facing is on this free component, it's not positioning in the middle of the screen, while it's ok on all other android and iOS browsers.
