Ratings and reviews

Easy to use, love the tabs, bookmarks with folders make it super easy to save pages for later, simplify option removes ads (w/ blockers added) & clutter from poor web layouts. It's like an improved version of the desktop chrome redesigned for the mobile users in a way that's intuitive. Updates improve user experience, not the advertiser's experience. As an advertiser, I hate it bc it blocks most automatically. As a user I love it for the same reasons (and more). I haven't had any pop-ups & bugs.

Pops up like if it's a virus. & I've seen i'm not the only one with this issue. I'm getting really annoyed & tired of it, & because it's software that came with the phone, there's no Uninstall feature. So Samsung, you need to fix this issue it's dangerous, especially if you're using maps or any other app that uses travel, and there is a sudden pop-up. 🤔 the annoying part is that even if you try to disable this app, it still tries to pop up. And it's all random and on top of other apps, too.

This app has had huge strides in the last few months. Efficiency has been up, a lot of my long standing issues have been resolved, quality of life changes have been implemented, it's been great. As someone who uses the app a lot and keeps a meticulous nested bookmark system the ability to collapse and expand folders when creating a new bookmark to more easily navigate is amazing and I hope to see the feature come to the main bookmark search function.
