Google focuses on Chrome. That's why the object is "Samsung Browser" which is the android browser on Samsung galaxy phone.
Gosh...

Dolphin Browser has the best UI among Android browsers. It has a real tab bar and the best method for text reflow: even if you don't zoom in, it automatically always warps the text to fit the screen if it would be at 100% zoom. And double tap zooms to 100%, no matter how large or small the element on the page that you double tap. It has an option to determine the default behaviour, whether to always open the pages at 100% zoom level, or at no zoom (overview) mode.
Conversely, the Firefox has the worst crap UI. It is just a copy clone of Chrome's UI which is also crap. In fact, Mozilla is copying Chrome in everything. It's true for both desktop and mobile version of their browser.
Unfortunately Dolphin browser is unstable and very buggy, often crashes. It's Adblock addon lacks the features that Ublock Origin provides in Firefox for Android. For example you can't use custom filters in Dolphin's Adblock addon.
The best browser for Android would be Firefox's engine (Gecko) with Dolphin's user interface. Someone should create a forked version of Firefox. But unfortunately, nobody has thought of it, because the developers only develop crap and pointless apps/programs.

Well, since Apple brought content blocking to iOS 9, I guess it was only a matter of time before Samesung did likewise.
Curiously, I had always assumed that content blocking was available on Android from the beginning since it is open source and iOS is a prison, etc...

I think that stock browser can`t be updated via Galaxy apps or Play store. Only rom update will bring this new browser on the phone. Or if you`re rooted...

Firefox for Android has the best adblocker addon: Ublock Origin .
Ublock Origin is the ONLY adblocker on Android that supports CUSTOM FILTERS, has a network request logger, and has the same, full featured options and user interface as the desktop version! NO OTHER adblocker for Android has network request logger and option to use custom filters.
Other advantage of Firefox for Android is that it supports Adobe Flash plugin.
The only and most annoying problem with Firefox for Android is that it does not have text reflow. (And it's downloadable text reflow addon is crap, because you have to tap each paragraph to reflow, and it doesn't even work with some sites).
