Like four months have passed since they announce video assistant is being develop again. It's taking such a long time for a feature that was already developed and implemented. Samsung with every "update" they do they only go backwards. I'm done with samsung, even the phones are bad right now. I've been having problems with my phone since I bought it. I replace it only to have the same problems again. The two phones I had have problems with the camera hardware out of the box and now the software.

I've always used Google Search for my home page. This latest beta version , instead of showing just the google search bar, delivers news stories and other things I'm not interested in, including videos! I've searched and tried all google and browser settings and have found no way of eliminating this feature. update: issue resolved. My fault as there were new settings I was unfamiliar with.

Dear Steve Madden, Thank you for you interest in Samsung Internet. We are sorry for the trouble you had with the home page settings. It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide captured screen shot for your home page settings and web page for displaying news stories.

This is a decent browser. I like the high contrast mode. The main issue is if you're using a third party launcher on Samsung device there is no option to add a web page shortcut to your home screen. A year and a half has gone by and the issue hasn't been fixed. On any non Samsung phone the option is there. That totally ruins any chance of using this browser.
