Samsung Internet and Chrome

One major drawback of Samsung Internet is that there was no way to sync your Chrome bookmarks with Samsung Internet. There is a good chance that you use Chrome on your PC. Samsung has now introduced a solution with beta version 19 of the app, it announced in a press release.
