I know this is a new area of the forums.

Any hands for Internet.
I would like to know if Internet users of old have stopped using it.

Did I read it changed with Lollipop, or is it different only on the S6/E ?
 
Raising hand! :) The stock Samsung browser (labeled Internet) has always been my preferred browser on all my Note devices (ex. Note 2, Note 4 and OG Note 10.1) primarily because it's the ONLY one that supports S-Pen hover scrolling (ex. hover near the edge of the screen to scroll that direction).

For the S6/S6 Edge, Verizon removed the stock Samsung browser for some unknown reason. :confused: Knuckleheads better not do that with future Note devices though as it'd be removing an important feature of a Note device! :mad:
 
Gone on the S6 huh? It must have been a Note 4 I was looking at recently in a store. That's weird. Maybe because it doesn't do reflow. I think I am heading for a Note 4 or G4 anyway.
No significant changes with Lollipop on the Note 4 I presume. I will look again.
 
Yes it's on the S6 here in the UK. Apparently Verizon took it off, but AT&T versions have it. Still stranger.
 
I'm still using the Samsung Note 3, I found one thing not good with the stock browser is if the options in a dropdown is having long texts, it cannot be seens completely as it only uses 1 line for each option.
 
Nobody minded loosing their bookmarks and names on their desktop shortcuts?

I have tried heaps of browsers but the best experience I have had is Samsung's browser with Crystal ad block. This combo plus disabling Chrome makes for a very fast and fluid browsing experience.
 
I use it on my s7. love the fingerprint login for websites. I only wish it would integrate the swipe to change tabs like in chrome
 
Loading time delay is one of the worst issue with Samsung's browser. Don't it varies with region or not.
 
About 2 months ago I switched over to Chrome and have been satisfied so far.
