The Samsung Internet web extension for Google Chrome, which allows users to sync bookmarks between the two browsers, appears to be no longer functional. Reports suggest that this issue has persisted for several weeks, though the cause remains unclear. The company has yet to acknowledge the problem or provide a temporary fix for affected users.
Samsung Internet extension for Chrome is no longer working
Samsung Internet is one of the most feature-rich browser apps for Android, particularly for Galaxy smartphones and tablets. Its resource-efficient design and wide range of built-in tools make it a great choice for Galaxy users. Samsung even makes it easy for users to switch from other browsers, with its Chrome extension allowing easy transfer of bookmarks.
However, the Samsung Internet extension for Chrome is no longer working. This problem disrupts the ability to sync bookmarks, a major problem for those who log out and attempt to log back into the extension. Currently, we are uncertain how long the issue has been ongoing or the exact cause. A Reddit post (via) suggests that the problem may have existed for over a month.
Affected users aren’t sure of the exact timeline, but the extension hasn’t been working for them lately. When they attempt to log in with their Samsung Account credentials, the browser redirects them to SamsungInternet.com, a domain that now appears to be up for sale through the provider Sedo. There’s no workaround to make the extension function properly.
While Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything yet, it looks like the company missed renewing the domain name, causing the extension to malfunction. At this point, there is no official acknowledgment or solution from the Korean firm. Hopefully, it will repurchase or renew the domain to restore the Chrome extension’s functionality soon. We’ll provide updates as more information becomes available.
