Ratings and reviews

This is a very powerful browser. It has been my default browser since I started using it. The new improvements are great. But I noticed that the Extension/Video Assistant has been removed. This function enables Video pop-up player; a valuable function in Samsung browser. Samsung why...? Please do return this function.

Expecting that in window video player and useful features, full screen video player zoom, floating menus, etc, once unavailable, reasons unknown, will return in the factory default browser. A fix much appreciated, no explanation or apology necessary. Thanks in advance for bringing this function back! Update 6-2-23: After last update or so, attempting to open menu in right hand corner of status/tool bar, the menu marked by the 3 horizontal lines, app abruptly crashes. Needs emergency fix patch.

Amazing, just a bit better than the original, with the option for the tab and the bookmark bar to be shown at the bottom on top of the address bar. To be honest, i never ever thought that i will use any other browser than Chrome but when i started using this browser 4 years ago i never used anything else.
