Samsung Internet for all the great it does, lacks behind drastically in other areas
Chrome has edge to edge, predictive back gesture on websites and adapts better to the colour of the status bar and search bar of the website
As shown here

That same website, doing the same action on samsung browser
Samsung browser also doesn't trigger dark mode naturally on websites, especially Google. You have to use the built in force dark mode which messes up the colours of the websites.
Samsung browser video player should be more seamless, when opening a video in full screen automatically open it in the samsung video player.
Samsung Video player doesn't work whilst on a phone call, it remains stuck on pause unless the call has ended and the app has been restarted
Samsung browser has the potential, but as of now its just equally 'average' as the rest on android and falls behind drastically to Safari

Some of the things you said aren’t quite accurate.
The dark mode toggle does trigger dark mode on websites, including Google. I’ve tested it myself, and even the Samsung Mobile site goes dark. The important thing to remember is that the website has to support dark mode for this to work properly — the browser can’t force it on every site.
Regarding the video pause issue, I’ve noticed the same problem too. It doesn’t only happen in Samsung Internet, but in the X (Twitter) app as well.

Yeah, the X app's a known problem, I've told X about it a bunch of times (I'm on the new X lite beta, so hopefully, they'll fix it soon).
All browsers seem to have this video playback issue; it's just bad optimization. I guess not many people watch stuff on their phones, but as a truck driver who's always on my phone after work and away from home, it gets super annoying.

@JimWillFixIt,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on Samsung Internet. We truly appreciate you taking the time to highlight areas where the browser could be improved.
Your points regarding predictive back gestures, status bar adaptation, dark mode behavior, and video playback experience will be shared with the Samsung Internet development team for consideration in future updates 😊.
