Explain to me why did Samsung by default attach tracking parameter string linking back to your mobile carrier when performing Google search on Samsung Internet Browser.?This is extremely problematic for obvious privacy reason as this leads to easy fingerprinting across the web.

Agreed. I don't use that browser.
Brave has worked well for me.

I suppose it's region and carrier based. I'm using Fido Canada, and Samsung would insert the string "client=ms-android-rogers-ca-revc" to every google search performed on Samsung Internet Browser, even on SECRET MODE
