Ratings and reviews

Almost perfect! I love how Samsung browser still allows you to actually change your homepage! However, I had to remove 2 stars because there is no way to change the "theme". Luckly, you can set sites to show normally, but the rest of the browser is jet black, making the text barely readable and an eye sore. Setting the brightness on your phone to maximum while altering the settings is sadly a requirement to see what you're doing. Other than that, it's a great browser.

way too many ads for my taste. It became to difficult to navigate for me. I didn't use it as much as I could've or maybe should have. Just Too many ads with, in my oppinion, intentions of deceptive techniques. Like wording, or lawyer talk type, fine print that doesn't say what the typical customers can understand. Thus it appears, to me, as deceptive.

The app is easy to use, but it has one glaring flaw: often, when i go to switch tabs from this app to another, this app just... doesn't appear in the list of recently used apps. i'll tap the button on the left, and it just disappears. It makes navigating back and forth between the internet browser and any other app an unnecessary pain. Please fix this, this has been going on for several months, if not a year.
