The browser has worked fairly flawlessly for years until this latest system update. Now, it crashes multiple times a day. I can't go on the Lowe's website or it crashes every time. If I do shopping searches on Google, it'll crash if I click a result. Other crashes seem random. My storage space and memory are fine. I've turned my phone off and back on a few times anyway, to no avail. I don't know what got changed during the latest update, but please change it back.

Takes forever to do anything. If I type into the search bar it won't do anything and will just erase what I typed. I have to use the search bar at the top of the page for it to work. when searching something it'll take literally minutes before it searches but I zero issues when I use any other search engine. Such a garbage app. id recommend anything else

First,Samsung has major issues with most of their devices and applications due to weak security leaks. Every single phone that I have used with Samsung seems to have the same problem. You should be able to uninstall any application , many of mine are greyed out and obstructed from performing correctly. For example; when I download the application and even before opening the app, I get loads of data installed and the same in my cache. When I go to clear the cache, it immediately comes right back.

I really want to like this app but there's a big problem in the way of long term use. There seems to be no efficient way to export/import secret mode bookmarks. I bookmark a lot in both modes for quicker scrolling. I noticed the issue recently and you can't use the app long term if you can't transfer your bookmarks over the years with manually as the only option. Sync does not work which is fine for privacy from cloud, but neither does a cable or app work! This needs to be an update.

This app has been extremely slow recently. I know its not just my phone because everything else works perfectly and my husband's internet app has also been causing him problems. Its slow, it freezes, and it hasn't been loading pages at all, it just crashes. Its getting very annoying. I'm switching back to Chrome until they fix this issue. It seems after the latest update, its been causing problems.

After the recent update for this app, I have noticed that it loads very slow. My phone lags alot and freezes when using it, which makes it difficult to navigate between tabs etc. Plus, whenever I type in anything, there is a long delay between when I type something and when my typed words appear. Please revert the app back to its previous version (it was just fine). This update has ruined the app. I'd give it 0 stars if I could.
