Samsung Smart TV: change browser - does it work?

The preset Smart TV browser cannot be changed at Samsung - even though Samsung briefly integrated Google's Chrome browser into the Smarthub.

Change Samsung Smart TV browser - unfortunately not yet implemented

Most television manufacturers restrict you to the preinstalled browser. That was also the case with Samsung until 2012.

• In cooperation with Google, however, selected Google apps were integrated into the Samsung Smarthub. Among other things, YouTube and Chrome. However, there are still no televisions with preinstalled Chrome and you cannot download the app separately.
• Not much has changed since IFA 2012. Google seems to be concentrating more on its "Chromecast" project and Samsung has not released any updates on the topic since then. So you are unfortunately still dependent on the preinstalled Samsung standard browser.
