Samsung internet app won't "close"

[user8TwNEdT55z]

Right after I installed the new update for the samsung internet app, it won't "close" out the app. When I tap the "tabs" button on the bottom of the screen, I would just swipe right or tap the "x" and it would disappear. Now when I do either, it just takes me back to the home screen. Anybody know how to resolve this?

Same here..its pissing me off. When I hit the X the tab minimizes then pops right back up to the homepage which is Google. I also noticed where you type the web address it's grayed out. It never used to be like that. Phone is an S22

Anyone ever get an answer to this issue?

That one tab with the homepage is built-in behavior, not a glitch. Even if you close everything, it’ll reopen a single tab with your homepage so you’re never left staring at a blank screen.

But if you'd rather not see any tab reopen, here are a couple of workarounds that actually work.

Set Homepage to a Blank Page
This makes the reopened tab feel like nothing’s there.

Steps:

Open Samsung Internet

Tap ≡ Menu > Settings

Tap Homepage

Choose “None” or enter about:blank as a custom homepage

Now when you close all tabs, it’ll reopen to a blank tab—no content, no distractions.

You're absolutely right to notice the change, it is relatively new behavior in Samsung Internet. In earlier versions, when you tapped “Close All Tabs, it would shut everything down and leave you with a clean slate. But in more recent updates, Samsung tweaked the experience to always reopen one tab with the homepage after closing all others.
