The wait is finally over!
Verizon users of the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge devices can use this link to get the stock Samsung Internet app that Verizon seems to cold heartedly keep out, out-of-the-box.

Have you downloaded and installed the OTA that was available about a week ago?
Not compatible and I took the update last week.

I have (I started a thread about the OTA here when I first got the update, in fact), and the Play Store link definitely says incompatible. Believe me, I've tried it multiple times since it was updated to the version 4 browser.
I know the Play Store description says S7 and S7 Edge models are supported, but it is not open for downloading on at least the Verizon branded units (or not for some of us, at least).

What I did was had someone with a Verizon S6 device, share me the link from their Play Store to the Samsung Internet app via text message. Then I went to the Messages app and opened the link where a unique window popped up and took me to the Play Store where the Install button was enabled for me to get the app.
Same here, took the update, still a no go in the play store. I did install that apk that was posted and it worked just fine...then got eskeered that it had some back door to china and deleted it .
Funny thing is when I installed the apk, then went to the play store it still showed as incompatible but installed.
Worked for me. Been using it for 4 or 5 days now
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
I need this apk.
I provided a link to the apk up top in the OP. Maybe it'll work for those that weren't able to install the browser from the link to the Play Store.
Searched in the play store and found and installed the browser without issue. BTW, there is also an ad block plug in for this browser.
I also had no problems finding it on the Play store. Installed with no problems. I wasn't able to install it last week as it gave me an incompatible device error but it works now!
Btw, I'm still on the stock version. Haven't taken any of the updates.

Yup working for me now to really really weird
Now that Chrome has been updated with patch notes listing speed improvements, I find Chrome to be as smooth as Samsung's browser, but with a better interface, search, faster scrolling, and the benefits of access to years worth of saved passwords and shared history. As far as I can tell, the only thing Internet has over Chrome is the adblock compatibility.

I agree you've summarized some significant advantages that Chrome offers.
But in addition to the adblock feature, here are a few things that are better with Samsung's app IMO:
- Secret Mode can persist an entirely separate password/fingerprint gated internet browsing experience, including history, website passwords, bookmarks, and locally saved web content - much more robust functionality than Chrome's completely temporal incognito mode.
- Use of fingerprint input can be optionally required on a site by site basis before the browser retrieves your saved password for a website.
- While Chrome can be configured to offer up a reader mode for article-formatted web pages, it is not on by default, and Google has slowly reduced its availability and functionality over time. Additionally, even when configured, its ability to correctly detect content that could benefit from reader mode is poor, meaning you can't easily use it even when it would be useful.
The Samsung Browser's reader mode is on by default, and while detection is not perfect, I've found the reader icon is made available for significantly more content than Chrome's.
Also, Chrome's reader mode announces its availability by placing an obnoxious pop up banner at the bottom of eligible web pages, whereas the Samsung Browser's reader icon appears as a small non-intrusive reading icon at the left of the URL in the address bar, where God intended it to be.

I've been using NoChromo as an answer to the Chrome with AdBlock concern. This may work for others as well. I couldn't give up the link sharing of Chrome across my multiple desktops.

While chrome's overall smoothness has improved in recent versions, it still lags quite a bit when pinching to zoom.
I use Samsung Internet over Chrome mainly because of the Reader functionality it has. It helps with reading articles withing having to deal with unnecessary info on the original web pages. Also, the new functionalities Samsung included are pretty useful, such as the fingerprint log-in and just a better overall UI. Simple and to the point.
Any way to remove some junk bookmarks? I see the ones I removed comes back after a reboot, and then there are some that you can't ever remove.

Cloud to SMS allows you to send messages from your browser, through your phone using the Android notification system (C2DM). The purpose of the app is to allow users (You!) to send SMS messages using their phones existing carrier account without having to touch their phone.
Requires Froyo (Android 2.2) or higher.

Beta of "free" version released to marketplace.
Allows you to send up to 7 messages a day, premium version beta coming in a few days with a release in about 2 weeks.
Grab the beta of the Chrome extension here: http://www.cloudtosms.com/files/cloudtosms-chrome-extension.crx
Feedback welcome
In case anyone is interested, this app is now in Beta and I will be releasing it to market soon.
Send and receive SMS messages from the website
All messages secured by SSL both ways
I will be making a Chrome plugin very soon so you don't need to browse to the website to send/receive.
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15
This app has a ton of potential. Can't wait for that Chrome extension!
I could see this having a ton of uses. One being it could grab an entire group of contacts from your Gmail account (or export them from what ever place you prefer to store your contacts and import them directly to the online app -though kind of a concern issue for obvious security reasons). Then you could send bulk Txt's much easier than directly on the phone. It could even schedule them, etc. I frequently have to send out mass texts to different groups and it could save me a lot of time every week if it had those functions.
Feel free to PM me for brainstorming!
Thanks for the feedback.
Will definitely add "Groups" in a future version of the webapp.
I don't store any contacts on the server, its all handled by javascript on the client side (e.g. by your computers browser). If there are other contact sources that work like the Google Contacts API (e.g. allow un-cached display of contacts) I could attempt to add support.
Scheduling is an interesting idea and something to consider in future versions.
One thing to keep in mind is Google limit the amount of messages sent through C2DM, so bulk messages would only work to a certain point.
wonderful app, tons of potential. works perfectly on my spica running cm6.1 rc1. thanks rolf!
Very cool concept. I'll try it out shortly.
First release of the chrome extension is good to go. I haven't tested it on any PC's aside from my own so it might not work, please advise if you try it out:
http://www.cloudtosms.com/?page_id=15
nice man, keep it up
This is an awesome app!!! Runs fast and smooth on my Desire with Teppics pre-rooted stock rom.
Two things:
I would like to able to prevent the notification sound when sending messages. I thought I could turn it off in Settings but either I cannot understand the meaning of "Use notification sound" or the feature doesn't work ;-)
Also an option to prevent the status bar notification icon and notification entry would be nice.
Otherwise awesome!
[edit]
Oh! One more thing: The web page (https://cloudtosms.appspot.com/) seems to hang when fetching contacts (I have about 250 contacts)...
And of course Google Apps support would also be nice so that I don't have to manually export/import my contacts between two accounts.
[/edit]
./kroogar
AWESOME!
This is what I have been waiting for forever!
Chrome extension is awesome, would love a firefox one, too.
Even better would be a standalone app.
Also push ALL notifications from phone back to the cloud.
You would be truly amazing.
Cannot load page
This morning (as of right now) I cannot load the page https://cloudtosms.appspot.com in either Chrome or Firefox. It seems there is a piece of JavaScript that will not load. The page hangs until the browser complains. It's preventing me from logging in :-(
I'm using Chrome 9.0.570.0 and Firefox 3.6.12.
[edit]
Actually managed to get to the log in page by pressing the Sign in link as soon as the page starts loading. After log in the page still hangs trying to fetch my contacts...
[/edit]
I think this might be the pubnub servers being slow. I might cache their Javascript to fix this problem. Can you confirm if the problem is still occuring?
EDIT: this should be fixed now
the feedbak for this app is really good, but I still don't get what is this for. Maybe a short explanation would be a good idea.
Thanks!

Hmm... now nine hours after my attempt this morning I have conquered the snow and reached home - unfortunately just to realize the problem still occurs :-( In Chrome I'm already signed in and it just sits there fetching contacts. In Firefox I'm not signed in and problem is the same as described earlier.
I have not at any point been able to see my contacts on the web page. They do seem to be loaded just fine in the Chrome extension though...
Maybe you like a another icon? Today i created one... maybe you like it..
Let me know what you think about it
Hrm... Darn Javascript.
If you press ctrl+shift+j in Chrome or Forefox it will show the Javascript error console, does this show you any errors?
Does it work if you browse incognito?
If you want to email me kroogar to get instant responses please feel free (my username at gmail.com)
Sinas: it is a much cleaner icon, I will try it in the build and see how it looks
Installed and working with minimal fuss. Very impressed (currently using sms2pc)
However, despite refreshing the chrome tab only 361 of my 500+ contacts appear. Same happens through the webpage. Happy to help test larger contact lists if it helps
Super job so far.

The latter lists all apps you’ve ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane.

I’m not sure how I feel about that – on one hand, I like that it’s gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday…

First, I must say I'm impressed by your skills at such a young age.
Now onto my first impressions and some constructive criticism:
"Patent Pending?" Even if you do have a pending patent (on what?), It doesn't belong in the app name. That means nothing to someone looking for a new browser to try out.
I see none of the features advertised in the settings. I assume I have to buy the full version? Have you considered a short trial period? You're going to have a lot of installs and immediate uninstalls with poor ratings or none at all. There's not even a hint about where these features are hiding. I suggest at least an intro at first launch.
How does the sync work? Where is the data being stored? Only big name browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Dolphin can afford a feature like this.

When you enter the incognito mode, "search" for your password in the homepage's search bar, ie treat the homepage search bar as a password bar (make sure you use proper casing for your password). This will unlock the drawers on the side of the screens and you can now also change the incognito password in the settings.
Thanks
This is not bad!

Disconnect Pro for Samsung is now available in the Galaxy Apps store, and it's free for a limited time. It blocks trackers, malware, and ads just like Ad Guard, however it runs NATIVELY, meaning no battery draining VPNs running 24/7 or annoying key icon the status bar. I can verify it works after installing, following the setup process, and rebooting. Search for "Disconnect Pro" in the Galaxy App store.

For uninstalling you will have to remove it from device administrators.

It works extremely well ! I think you need to be on stock ( non-rooted ) it uses knox in order to work.
It still works if you are rooted, but yes, you need Knox to be present on your phone. It won't work if you have removed Knox.
This isn't really useful for rooted phones and custom ROMs because you could just use AdAway. This is a huge boon for non-rooted phones, however.
Installed my knox and it seems to be working now

I feel this is just better than adaway coz 1 doesnt need to update it manually if he/she wouldnt like to have a running notification always. And this is active blocking much more like a desktop browser plug in, works really well.
Im using Stock + Prometheus (disables knox) and it works for me seamlessly.

AdAway modifies the hosts file, it doesn't really need to be updated and it doesn't have any notification or background process running. Other non-root solutions like Ad Guard work that way, but AdAway doesn't.
AdAway is still the superior option, though Disconnect Pro is very close. The main difference I find is that when using AdAway, pages seem to load the blank ad space earlier, so if you are scrolling down a page while it is still loading or trying to hit a link, the page doesn't jump around. With Disconnect Pro, the empty ad space pops in towards the end of the page loading, much like the way it does with no ad blocker at all, so loading pages jump around a lot. Trying to tap on links too early often results in you tapping something else entirely as things jump around.
I noticed this difference right away after switching to Disconnect Pro from AdAway. I'm a power browser; I know what I am looking for, I scan quickly, and I don't like waiting for pages to fully load before I tap on links when I know where I am headed next. With Disconnect Pro, I have to slow down a bit and that gets frustrating at times. It is especially noticeable on forums.
That said, Disconnect Pro is still good enough. Solid ad blocking without a VPN or background process is my primary reason for rooting, and now I can get nearly the same quality of ad blocking without root. This is a big win.
I have downloaded and installed this and My Knox , rebooted and still seeing ads in Chrome. Any suggestions please?

My understanding is that you may still see Ads with Disconnect: its goal is not to remove ad, but block trackers.
I think that many trackers use the same url base that the ads themselves, so preventing the tracker prevents the ads, or maybe some ads does not work without their related tracker.
You can try to complement it with Block this or something like that.

Try the Samsung browser with adguard content blocker.
I don't see any ads in Chrome whatsoever.
Make sure you actually run Disconnect Pro and activate all three of the things in the pop-up. Simply installing it isn't enough.
This is the best ad blocker and tracker blocker. Less than 12 hours of having this app I haven't seen any ads. Follow all the instructions when installing this app you won't have any problems.

hi all,
don't know if this has been mentioned before (if so my apologies) but just wanted to share this
I've been a bit frustrated with the browsing speed of my S7, I've always used chrome (mainly for integration with lastpass and just because... well, it's chrome right?) but was never impressed with the speed.
Tried a bunch of other browsers (dolphin, maxthon, UC, firefox, ...) you name it.... same feeling...
A friend of mine has an iphone 7, comparison of browser speed was... humbling... Even to the point of considering switching to an iphone!
Started googling about this and somewhere someone on some site mentioned in the comments section of an article about how great iphone's are compared to android that the samsung stock browser (version 4+) in combination with an adblock is "all you need".
To be honest, until that moment I had never even used the stock browser... It's stock so it can't be good right?
Started using the stock browser in combination with "adblock fast" and never looked back... this browser is amazing, did the same tests again with my friends iphone 7 and where before the S7 was slower every time, now it was fastest in about 80% of the cases!
No lastpass integration but the fingerprint login built into the browser works on most of the sites I've encountered so far. Not perfect but the speed makes up for everything.
So here it is, I don't want to start a browser-discussion (everybody has his/her own preference) but for the people who never used the stock browser you might want to give it a try and see how it works out for you...
Cheers

It also beats Google Chrome in one of the best benchmark tests - Vellamo Mobile Benchmark, and provides a much better feeling of use than Chrome and any other browser. Scrolling is so much better.

Stock browser with Disconnect Pro is working pretty well. I'm using ir since S6 and I'm happy.
I would like to use stock browser but I need bookmark sync with chrome and this is not supported
Gesendet von meinem SM-G930F mit Tapatalk
Bookmarks sync via Samsung account works. Install samsung sync addon for Chrome on PC and after starting sync your stock Android browser will sync bookmarks tab. Of course, you have to login Samsung account on the phone before you do all this.
Btw, stock browser is good but needs text formatting .
Which version of the samsung browser are you guys on? Im still seeing 4.0.10-53 on google play, i have the 930w8 if it matters and nothing on samsung's galaxy app store. I had to download version 5+ from apkmirror

I'm using 5.0.30-40 with adblock for samsung internet browser and its fast!
The 5.0 version is installed on Android N...
What's new in v5.0?
According to ApkMirror descriptions, 5.0.30-13 is for Android 4.4+, 4.0.30-43 is for Android 5.0+. I think it is a bit confusing. Both have the same variant date, which is even more confusing.
Do you have an "exit" option on the stock browser ? Screen print from my S4 attached - I don't have it on my S7 G930W8 ?
Not sure the app actually closes ?
