Ratings and reviews

I usually LOVE the Samsung internet browser. I even go out of my way to download it on non Samsung phones. But it recently updated, and now it's impossible to use. Whenever I try to respond to any kind of messaging, the website crashes. I've tested the same situations on other browsers, and those don't crash. I really don't want to have to switch browsers, could this please be fixed soon?

What happened to this app?? Since the update, tabs now crash CONSTANTLY while browsing pages on my a10e and it's nearly impossible to type anything in let alone scroll any pages. I use this browser frequently and until now, it's barely given me any trouble. I am hoping the next update will fix the issue and will save me the headache of having to download another browser.

In 3 1/2 years I have never used this app. Like other factory installed software, I was unable to uninstall it, but I was able to disable it, uninstall updates and prevent auto updating. Since the latest OS update (Android 15, UI 7.0) this app has been "upgraded" to an android system default app. Now it auto updates every two or three days and there is nothing I can do to stop it. It takes 426 Mb of storage in my phone and is the default browser for work, whatever that means. Please fix it.
