User reviews

On Foldable phones or tablets, there is no tab management visible. You have to swipe down to see a gallery, which is very annoying. Also there is no support for 3rd party autofill programs. They want you to use their own Microsoft autofill which is garbage. Only saving grace is the ability to use extensions using dev mode.

With the exception of the odd period of crashes when it updates and the phone doesn't like it, it has worked pretty well, syncs with my desktop faves/passwords and most importantly has extension support however it has the annoying habit of my finger not alleigning with the touch screen in the app correctly, ie when I press a link I have to press several mm below where I want to press. Not always been like that, only last few updates, wish it was fixed, possibly a Samsung Fold issue?

11-28-24 the amount of trackers in the source code in the background in Canary is crazy, stealing so much analytics data when other chromium browsers like Kiwi don't have any of these. In addition Bugs on Fold5 large screen. Tabs do not appear at the top on larger Fold5 screen and on Facebook marketplace messages column are not visible, other pages have similar experience. Please fix, emailed info and screenshots
