What Samsung Internet users are talking about.

Users are deeply frustrated that Samsung Internet is pre-installed as a system app and cannot be fully uninstalled, only downgraded. The app compounds this by auto-updating, re-enabling itself, and overriding user-set permissions even after being disabled, which many users describe as malware-like or spyware behavior. This is a significant concern for Samsung device owners who feel their autonomy over their own hardware is being violated.

A recent Samsung Internet update dramatically changed the browser's interface, removing or rearranging key UI elements such as the tab view, toolbar buttons, and dropdown menu layout. Users report the new design is visually unappealing (excessive white, loss of color-coded tabs), less customizable, and harder to use than before. The changes have driven many long-time Samsung Internet users to switch to competing browsers like Chrome, Firefox, or Brave.

This current update to an otherwise brilliant browser is just plain awful. The clear-on-exit feature and a plethora of other useful aspects of the browser have either disappeared or been tweaked and made unsightly and unusable, the Homepage…

new update sucks. the older version was far more appealing and used friendly. Why they changed the user bar to the new version is beyond me. closing multiple tabs now is more difficult. looks like I'm going back to Firefox

This cluster consists of broadly positive reviews where users praise Samsung Internet as a fast, feature-rich alternative to Chrome, highlighting ad-blocking, dark mode, and UI design. Reviews frequently compare it favorably to Chrome or other browsers, often without focusing on a specific problem. The cluster represents general satisfaction and word-of-mouth advocacy rather than a targeted complaint, though occasional low ratings mention lack of differentiation from Chrome or privacy concerns.

This app is awesome because it's an internet browser. I think it's just as good as Chrome or Edge.

Users report that Samsung Internet's background play feature — which allowed YouTube and other media to continue playing when the app was minimized or the screen was off — stopped working after a recent update. This was a flagship differentiator for Samsung Internet, and its loss is driving users to switch to competing browsers like Opera or Chrome. The issue is consistently tied to specific updates, suggesting a regression rather than an intentional removal.
