No samsung browser on Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge

[KimJongOMG]

Have you tried searching for it in the Galaxy apps store? That's where I found it for my S6E.

So what browser do you have installed in place of Samsung browser? There has to be a default one there.

It may just need an update from Samsung in the Google Store. I am sure we will see it within a few days (if not sooner).

Most likely Chrome like Verizon did on the S6

Chrome. Apk's don't work. App Closes immediately. And I found it by searching on the damn Chrome browser

Verizon is shoving Chrome down our throats. :'(

Yes. It's not there

I searched for Samsung browser apk on chrome and there was a link to the app. When I click it, it takes me to that screen.

MAYBE, just maybe, we can't get it in the Play Store because the Play Store shows version 3.0? Just seems odd that someone on an S6 could grab it in the Play Store (S6 on 5.1 which has the Samsung Browser 3.0)

Has Verizon made a deal with Google for this? I don't see how they would benefit from this otherwise.

No!

This is how it always starts with Verizon's and AT&T's, "cloneware". The omissions, the add-on's, the bloatware, the lack of updates that are issued by them and not Samsung and eventually, the expansion of the system partition for even more bloatware and making the phones unrootable in future updates.

It isn't just Samsung who have to kowtow to these carriers to do business in the U.S., other manufacturers do too. Ever wondered why, unlike the rest of the world, that there are no unbranded, stock Samsung handsets widely available in your local stores and why all carriers must have their own carrier variant?

It has now become a standing joke with the worldwide stock Samsung users.

"Think all Galaxy S7's are the same...
Think again!"

(These are not necessarily the views of Android Central but my own personal observations over the last six years)

I don't think that's the case because I think other carriers have the browser. Pretty sure this is a Verizon thing

Most likely never since Android is open and Apple / iOS is not. They can avoid it by not selling through the carriers (like Nexus) but then people wouldn't like that either.

I would love that option.

But not even Samsung has the brand loyalty and market clout that Apple does.

Otherwise, how are you liking the phone? What phone are you coming from?

It is something T-Mobile allowed I guess.
