I can't close tabs on a stock galaxy 6, no tab icon

[alikatg]

I am using the stock internet that the galaxy 6 came loaded with. I am not using chrome. When I click on a link and that tries to open a new tab, I get an error message that states I have reached my 50 tab maximum. At the bottom of the screen where most users have a "Back" "Forward" "Home" "Bookmark" "Tab" icons, I do NOT have a "tab" icon. Can someone please let me know how to close tabs without this icon present. all forums answers say to use this icon and I don't see it on my screen.
Please help!

Welcome to the forums. I am asking around for those who have a Samsung device.

I'm not sure why you don't have that icon. I've done some testing and it never disappears for me.

You aren't using easy mode are you? That tab button disappears with easy mode.

Also opening the app manager and clearing data will close the tabs.

Can you provide a screenshot of what you do see?

Can you tell me how to turn "easy mode" off? I am unsure if it is enable or not. Thank you for your help!

Go to settings, you will see Easy Mode, then open that and see what is on the next screen.
