After the latest update, getting a list of my tabs takes several minutes. It used to take about 30 seconds. Switching tabs or opening a new one during that time takes me to the middle of the list, so it is hard to find my recent tabs now. When I click on a PDF I have already downloaded, I get a warning, but no option to open the already downloaded PDF. I always have to download it again and open the new one taking up even more space on my phone.

Epic Fail, the app updated now it just crashes and gives error Failed to Load. I Uninstalled the updates and it still refuses to load. It updated automatically and it crashes each time. For years I've used it on my Note 20 Ultra 5g and All of a sudden, Nope. Auto Passwords for Websites worst idea when the App freezes you out of everything. Glad I chose my own 99.9% of the time. Guess I'll Move To Firefox, Edge, Brave or Opera :) CCleaner just created a new browser...

The browser itself is like any other, I've always preferred Chrome, but sometimes on my phone in the "quick settings", where the notifications appear, the music progress bar is not accurate (either saying its over when its not, or halfway over when it started). I don't know if it's a Samsung issue, or if it's just Google, but anything else shows accurate progress.
