I don't know what happened, but ever since the update, this app randomly pops up after I unlock my phone. This is not my default browser. I have Chrome set for it. I went into the settings and un-installed the update for it turned off notifications and cleared cache, yet it still pops up. The only thing I didn't do was reset because I didn't want to lose years of things I saved. You all need to fix this. It's really annoying.

The best android web browser for minimalist functionality. Aesthetically pleasing and easy to use, lacking in terms of privacy but privacy is just a buzz word with no weight behind it for most browsers now anyway. It also has a very nice built in video player which is 80% of why I use it. Let me break it down for you. Want to look up recipes, or what year an actor was born? Use samsung internet. Want to look up how to make homemade explosives? Maybe don't look it up on your phone at all.
