Comes preinstalled and can't be removed without additional tools Edit: To clarify, the application can be removed from the home screen, and it can be "disabled" to hide it from the general app list. But Samsung does not allow to remove it completely either through phone settings or Google Play.

Not bad, but not really top. Of the shortcomings - filtering search results, not displaying some sites, services such as maps periodically freeze. One of the most is the Protect Active Protection System. After embedding URL links in the application, a warning from Protect periodically appears instead of the interface. Click "Ignore", the site will reboot and protect does not allow access again. There is no way to disable Protect in this application.
