I did this successfully, but it’s not the most elegant solution: new bookmarks added on desktop don’t sync automatically, forcing you to re-import manually. As there’s no desktop equivalent for Samsung’s app, you’re forced to set up from scratch or use Google Chrome’s Samsung Internet extension to import your bookmarks from Chrome on desktop to Samsung Internet on mobile. One thing Chrome bests Samsung Internet for is cross-platform bookmarks. If you flit between operating systems then it might be a better solution for you than using Chrome for everything, and it’s certainly more secure. I have it set up to autofill from my 1Password account and while you need to set it up manually, it works a charm. But if you use a password manager, Samsung Internet also supports autofill ( just not Google's). You can also customize the bar and the options behind the hamburger menu for a tailored experience, something Chrome flat out does not let you do.Ĭhrome admittedly makes login and password information far easier to sync, as all you need to do is sign into your Google account.
It’s much easier to use one-handed, particularly on today’s larger phones.
It’s a small touch, but Samsung Internet having the page controls at the bottom of the screen makes far more sense than where Chrome puts them up at the top.
But we think it's a browser worth looking at, and we're going to compare it to Chrome a little more closely - what it adds and what it loses - in this article. And even if you are, Samsung Internet does make it possible to switch, albeit not without some pain.
Samsung Internet has some unique and compelling features that could just get you to switch, provided you're not completely married to Chrome for things like password management. While Samsung isn't exactly known for its world-beating software applications, this browser is an odd bright spot in the company's portfolio of also-ran mobile apps. "A Samsung browser? No thanks" you might think, but we wouldn't be quick to jerk our knees. But there are other browsers out there, and one that you may not have bothered blinking at if you don't own a Samsung smartphone is Samsung Internet. Google Chrome is by default, both literally and figuratively, the web browser of choice on most Android devices.
