Samsung has done an excellent job avoiding feature creep when it comes to Samsung Internet, its in-house browser for Android devices. The company doesn’t add new features very often, and the ones it does add go to the beta version of the app before coming to the stable version.
Samsung tests both major and minor features in the beta version, and the latest feature falls in the latter camp. The Samsung Internet beta app has received an update that adds a new option that, when enabled, prevents the menu bars from disappearing when you scroll through a website.
Latest Samsung Internet beta update adds option for persistent menu bars
Most browsers for smartphones hide all of their menus, including the address bar, when the user is scrolling. It’s something most people don’t notice or care about, but those who do, and perhaps find it irritating, can disable that behavior in the newest version of Samsung Internet beta.
The option, which is called Show menu bars while scrolling can be accessed from the app’s Settings » Layout and menus section. Once it’s enabled, menu bars at both the top and bottom will remain visible at all times.
The latest version, 25.0.0.31, of Samsung Internet beta also fixes bugs and improves general stability. It can be downloaded from the Galaxy Store. The app is also available on the Play Store, but the Galaxy Store is recommended as it receives updates faster. If you wish to manually install it without using any app store, you can download the latest APK file from APKMirror.
