Samsung Internet bends its whole layout around reachability. It anchors the address bar and core controls to the bottom of the screen, within thumb range on tall phones, a one-handed ergonomic stance that desktop-descended browsers ignored for years. The bottom toolbar carries navigation and tabs where the hand actually rests. It leans into mobile-native conveniences: a generous reader mode, built-in tracker and ad blocking, and integration with Samsung's device features. The tab overview is a vertical card stack you flick through. What holds it back is reach in the other sense, it's effectively a Samsung-and-Android citizen, so its thoughtful patterns stay siloed to that hardware. As a study in designing browser chrome for the thumb rather than the cursor, it is one of the better-considered mobile browsers.
