Ratings and reviews

I think a lot of reviewers are wrong or confused. I've been using Samsung internet for 6 years. And things have been only getting better and better. No internet browser is perfect, but This one has just been the least problems and has many options. You just have to look. The ads are on the website not on the Samsung browser. Ad blocker, video player, a dark mode and dark theme that is amazing. Easy to reach menu and tabs. Only con for me is no sync across desktop.

Completely horrible. If I could no star I would. With the constant pop ups and ads especially when the app is closed I'm beyond annoyed. It gets really bad when I'm trying to work and can't do anything without a damn pop up showing up mid message or in the middle of typing anything. This didn't start to become an issue until the most recent update and there seems to be nothing that stops the constant pop ups. They are the worst around mid day and pop up every few minutes. I'm not alone in this.

This app continues to cause my phone to allow continuous adds and pop-ups. I've removed all permissions and even attempted to remove it from my Samsung phone altogether, but it will not allow Uninstaller to function, or allow deactivation, forced shut down works momentarily, at least till it turns itself back on. I've believed in Samsung products for a number of years and have quite a few, in fact, I've had several phones, TVs, computers, etc., but I'm about to hold a very public bonfire
