Several browsers allow users to load an online page on their Android’s home screen. However, below we detail the two most popular methods: Google Chrome and Samsung Internet.
If you return to your screen, see the icon. The Chrome icon is attached, which means you can’t access this shortcut in any other browser.
Your default browser is possibly the Samsung Internet browser if you have a Samsung device. There is a slight difference with Google Chrome, depending on the taste of the browser.
