Chrome is a great browser, but it’s far from the best one out there. I tested more or less every major alternative to Google’s popular browser and found a better option for my personal wants and needs.
Samsung Internet has more features, offers superior customizability, and comes with a few extra security options. Despite what many think, it can be downloaded to just about any Android phone, so it’s not exclusive to Samsung devices. Most people just default to Chrome, as it’s the most well-known and readily available browser on all smartphones. But I urge everyone to at least try out Samsung Internet to see that Chrome has fierce competition.

Both Chrome and Samsung Internet have a quick access feature on their home screens, which is basically a collection of shortcuts to specific websites. There’s a stark difference in the way the two rivals implemented this feature, though.
On Chrome, the shortcuts appear automatically based on your most visited websites. I’m not a fan of this, especially since I might visit a specific site multiple times during a certain period and then forget about it, but it still takes a while before it gets out of my view.
