Ratings and reviews

Takes forever to do anything. If I type into the search bar it won't do anything and will just erase what I typed. I have to use the search bar at the top of the page for it to work. when searching something it'll take literally minutes before it searches but I zero issues when I use any other search engine. Such a garbage app. id recommend anything else

I’ve been using Samsung Internet on my Motorola Edge, and it’s been fantastic! The app is simple and straightforward, making browsing a seamless experience. I especially love that it has a dark mode option, which is easy on the eyes and perfect for late-night browsing. It’s quick, reliable, and a great alternative to other browsers. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a smooth and efficient browsing experience!

It's a great browser. Pretty straightforward and isn't really laggy unlike most browsers whatsoever, plus, it also has nifty features as well. Speaking of which, that is where the issue comes in, particularly, the "Background Play" feature this browser has suddenly stopped working as intended. I was on a website trying to listen to some music but all the sudden, it just doesn't play anymore whenever I leave the browser or go to another tab. Really hope you guys see this review and fix it ASAP.
