Samsung Internet Chrome extension stops working due to the silliest reason

The Samsung Internet extension for Chrome is handy if you prefer to use the Samsung Internet Browser on your smartphone. This extension allows you to sync your bookmarks between your PC and phone for a more seamless web browsing experience.

Unfortunately, the Samsung Internet extension for Chrome has been broken for the past couple of weeks (spotted by SamMobile). Users trying to log in are forwarded to the samsunginternet.com website, but it turns out this domain has expired. Check out the screenshot below.

So just how long has the extension been broken? Well, reviews on the Chrome Web Store suggest that it’s been broken since October 29 at the very least (see the screenshot below). We’ve also seen a couple of Reddit posts about the issue from 10 or 11 days ago.

In any event, we really hope Samsung addresses this issue as soon as possible. Having a broken extension is bad enough, but the expired domain is also a security threat as bad actors could buy it and direct unsuspecting users to scams, malware, and more.
