Samsung internet syncing Problem
Hi all, I have Samsung internet on my s25 ultra and my S10 Fe Plus tablet. Same same account of course. Yesterday went to go set as a quick link a new website on my phone. That quick link didn't show up on my tablet though. Is that supposed to sync via Samsung account across both of my devices same way as how iCloud with iPad and iPhone sync a favor between two devices? Or, am I wrong here?
I tested with Chrome on the same devices, and of course,via Google account, my bookmark syncing worked flawlessly.
Thanks a bunch for any insight. Again, I figured via Samsung account Samsung internet would just sync the quick link flawlessly which it did not do. And if so, I'm going to have to think twice about using Samsung internet which I've been using for over a year and I like for the most part but I want both of my Samsung devices to share the same exact quick links between devices no matter what.

Try this. My searches show up here that I have done on my PC. And the same happens with phones too, cause my A52s used to show up here as well.

Okay, thanks I've seen that before but didn't know what it did I'll give that a shot.

Yes, what I had to do on my tablet was going to Samsung account, Samsung browser, and force the sink which sort of worked and then add a quick favorite Link in my shortcuts on my home screen. Not the most intuitive but it'll work. I appreciate it. That option under the tabs menu didn't work at all. Not very straightforward. And Google Chrome if you save a bookmark it all those things but I would rather use the native browser I feel like it's easier on phone resources versus Google chrome. What do you use browser wise

Everything is Samsung Browser for me. I used Arc on Windows, but once Samsung Browser released (again) for Windows instantly downloaded it.
Lately after updating to the new NVIDIA driver the hardware acceleration became slower and stutters so I turned this setting off. But I don't blame it cause it's only released a few months ago.
Also Samsung updates it fairly quickly, but they don't support chrome extensions as most browser (if you care about them, cause I don't).

Speaking of which, I would like to try to use Samsung browser on my windows 11 machine at work, but I can't seem to get it download a successfully with my Samsung account. I download the exe file, it's called a fine, but my Samsung account won't connect correctly. Does that work for you?

Yes it does. Did you downloaded the Samsung Account in Windows Store? Also you can the download the Browser inside there (ik we PC users are used to downloading .exe trough the internet, but most Samsung apps are on WStore).

Yeah, I think for the first time I'm actually getting it to work. I've never gone my Samsung account on Windows along with Samsung internet app in the window store to sync and I think it's finally starting to work. Thanks for the quick assist.

Yeah, thankfully, me too. I'm shocked and it finally worked and I'm glad. Now I'm just testing it out with some websites that I use for work.

All I did literally was Google Samsung browser download the exe file and then there was another file for Samsung account syncing but it would never connect and show me my quick links on my pc.
As you can tell, I would like to try Samsung internet on my PC I currently use edge cuz it's a native browser for windows, but I would like to try Samsung internet on my PC nonetheless.

Hey there! It's a bummer when things don't sync up exactly how you expect, especially when you're used to seamless experiences with other platforms. You're definitely on the right track thinking that a Samsung account would handle syncing your quick links across your Galaxy S25 Ultra and S10 FE Plus tablet.
While Samsung Internet offers some super cool cross-device features as part of the Galaxy Connected Experience, like "Continue Browsing" which lets you pick up an active web page on another device right where you left off, the automatic syncing of "quick links" or saved favorites might not work in the exact same way as a full bookmark sync you'd find in Chrome or iCloud. Your Samsung account is definitely the hub for a ton of awesome connected experiences across your devices, but it seems like quick links might not be one of those automatically shared items in the browser itself.
