    Galaxy S8 Tip: How to sync your Google Chrome bookmarks with Samsung Internet web browser

    Tips & Tricks

    The Galaxy S8 and S8+ (and most Galaxy smartphones and tablets from Samsung) come preinstalled with the company's custom built web browser Samsung Internet. It's faster and smoother than Google Chrome for Android, and comes with a lot of additional features like an ad blocker, a secret mode that authenticates users by fingerprints or iris, a QR code scanner, and a video enhancer.

    However, some users tend to prefer Google Chrome on their Galaxy devices over Samsung's web browser because they want their data (such as bookmarks) in sync with Google Chrome on their desktop. Samsung really wants those users to try out Samsung Internet, so it has released a Google Chrome extension that can keep bookmarks in sync with the company's mobile web browser.

    Here's how you can use Samsung Internet plugin with your desktop's Google Chrome web browser:

    Step 1: Visit samsunginternet.com using Google Chrome web browser from your desktop, which will redirect you to Samsung Internet extension on the Chrome web store. Then click the Add To Chrome button.

    Note: You should be signed into your Samsung account on your Galaxy smartphone or tablet for this to work. You can add new bookmarks by clicking the circular add button on the bottom right side of the extension.
