So, you still have to rely on Chrome in some ways if you want full cross-device syncing.Ĭhrome has simpler bookmark syncing but if you use Samsung Internet on your phone and tablet, you can sync bookmarks, passwords, and everything else if you log in with Samsung Cloud.Ĭhrome also has a neat in-app ‘Lite mode’ that saves you browsing data where possible, a good thing if you have a low data plan. I did this successfully, but it’s not the most elegant solution: new bookmarks added on desktop don’t sync automatically, forcing you to re-import manually. As there’s no desktop equivalent for Samsung’s app, you’re forced to set up from scratch or use Google Chrome’s Samsung Internet extension to import your bookmarks from Chrome on desktop to Samsung Internet on mobile. One thing Chrome bests Samsung Internet for is cross-platform bookmarks. If you flit between operating systems then it might be a better solution for you than using Chrome for everything, and it’s certainly more secure. I have it set up to autofill from my 1Password account and while you need to set it up manually, it works a charm. But if you use a password manager, Samsung Internet also supports autofill ( just not Google's). Chrome admittedly makes login and password information far easier to sync, as all you need to do is sign into your Google account.
