Reviews for Samsung Internet Browser

I'm not sure what to say here. I've been using the Samsung Internet since I got this phone because it was easy to use and not as widespread as Chrome, but this last update is making that nearly impossible. every time I leave the app, it reloads and I have to pray that the pages I had loaded previously are still there; and they're often not. I've been trying to locate my bookmarks via my phone files so I can transfer them over to chrome in case of a hard crash. Please fix this.

I never use this app as I have never found the UI to work for me, but it is installed because like most phones, it is a non-negotiable part of owning a Samsung phone. It was never a problem to have it on the phone, only annoying that links in my text messages would only open in this app, not the defined default. Whatever, minor inconvenience, I could deal. NOW, after the latest updates, the app opens random sites... never been to them, no idea how the app opens independently. Serious bug...

Same as another user, I have never used this app, I always used chrome. Now I am pulling my phone from my pocket to find it unlocked with apps open and running (hello amazon shopping!) Constant full screen ads, battery life decreased (currently at 73% after 2 hours of intermittent use and 1 hour untouched.) Also noted that every time that I find it open, Samsung UI is also listed as the most recently used app. Dont know what you are doing Samsung but after 3 years I may be done.

This has to be the worst Android browser on the market. Download Firefox instead. It has a major flaw in the way it works. Every time you navigate to a web page, it makes that web page the start page next time you start the program. So you are fighting the browser every time you start it just to get to your start page. I tried everything. I eventually gave up and downloaded Firefox. PROBLEM solved.

Ads pop up at all times, such as when I am in the middle of an audible rosery, the ad pops up for no reason, not even appropriate, and totally disrupts my train of thought. I hate it; another example is when the phone rings, the ad pops up, and you have to erase it to even press on the phone link. This was downloaded by Samsung during the last update. I didn't ask for it, and it is impossible to delete. I actually spoke with the Samsung people, and they couldn't get rid of it either.

I can no longer log into accounts with vendors or databases. The username and passwords are accepted but I cannot move passed the log in page. this is happening with several websites that have no affiliation and the common denominator in the Samsung Browser. I am not a fan of this update!!! usually with updates (as long as they are done well), I adjust quickly but this update has not been a good experience and experience is everything to gain new users and retain those you have you.

Ever since the update this app opens randomly. I want to disable it & cannot. I cannot figure out how to stop it from opening, & it's not even opening a specific home page, just random nonsense that has no rhyme or reason to it. Horrible. Please stop including Samsung internet on phones - make it a free app for those who want it. There should be an answer that does not involve uninstalling an app that people use often. I've had Peel Remote installed for years w/ no issue until lately.

Because of this annoying app, I will never buy another Samsung product, ever. You can't get rid of it. No matter how many times you disable, 'discontinue use' and 'uninstall' it's still there, still running and continuously popping up, trying to open over 100 pages and interrupting absolutely everything you're doing, always. Do not download. I don't care what they say, this is absolutely a virus after you allow it in your system. Run fast and far away from this. 100+ negative stars.

Having too many issues with the newest update. Has cut all access to data & changed multiple settings. Also, not very secure. I do a search and by week's end, I'm getting emails pertaining to what I've searched. Then I get bombarded by loads and loads of spam emails and texts. I'll eventually upgrade, security is too important. Too bad, I used to really like Samsung.

If I wanted a news feed on my home page I'd put something of my own choosing there. I want my Quick Access there and nothing else. You can deactivate all the news categories but one; even so, the feed takes up half of the screen, allowing space for only 10 Quick Access buttons. You have to swipe over to see the rest of your "Not-So-Quick-Access" buttons. Too many other intrusive/inconvenient changes over the past year have ruined this previously satisfactory browser. Looking for an alternative.
