I agree. Samsung adds their own tweaks (like potentially this) so I'd like their browser on more devices if I could. At least on desktop the rest of the chromium browsers are able to use extensions so I can have my ad block.
I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro and the Note20 Ultra was my previous phone. I loved that Note. It was one of the best phones and really is still just as good as the Pixel I'm on now. Most of the main selling points haven't changed.
High refresh screen, check
12GB of RAM, check
Great zoom, check
Good battery, check (obviously degraded but I'm referring to when it was released)
Same storage capacity
The main advantage of the Pixel is the camera and a few software improvements but if I didn't get it for basically free from AT&T, I'd have probably kept the Note for as long as possible
But what I don't get is why doesn't Microsoft or someone large like that bundle extensions into their browser. I know Samsung has app based ones but I wish it could be built in and have ublock origin etc
They are also raising it for student plans. I got an email saying my student rate is going to $7.99 starting in September
