Browsing the web
The Internet app is one of the
native apps that arrives pre-
loaded onto your Samsung
Galaxy. It is your window
onto the internet, allowing
you to roam the worldwide
web wherever you are and, in
the process, access a wealth
of information that you can
view and manipulate. You can
even set up shortcuts to any
websites that you frequently
visit so that they sit on your
home screen like any other
app shortcut, which is perfect
for enabling speedy access to
your favourite web watering
holes. With the Internet app,
there are no boundaries.

Navigate with the multibar
The heart of the Internet app is the multibar. This is the area of the
app in which you can not only search the internet, but also input
website addresses (Fig 1). If you decide to use the space as a search
engine then, when you begin to type out your search words, the
app will try to second-guess your instructions. This means that every
time you add another letter to the words you are typing, the search
engine will present a selection of results based on those letters. Tap
on the result to go to the connected website.
Alternatively, you can simply enter a website address if you have
a particular location in mind. The keyboard keys can be utilised
