Unwanted search engines in Samsung Internet browser

Really, Samsung, why don't you adhere to regional restrictions when it comes to search engines? Why you push UNWANTED SEARCH ENGINES in Samsung internet browser for Europe?

Why You Didn't Consider These Search Engines Google Added to Chrome?

And this is the first page in Samsung Internet browser.

Looks good, right? Until you tap Add search engine. Then this appears..

What a hell is that? I don't need Russian or this Asian engines. So, If your excuse for many unavailable features is region, then why don't you stick to the same when it comes to unwanted languages or search engines?

For what I need chinese, Japanese, corean search engine in EUROPE. I don't want them, and I can't delete them.

But, luckily I can disable all search engines except Google through hidden menu

internet://debug.

So, now I have only Google as search engine in Samsung internet browser 😂

And I discovered that, without my knowledge now I have TSS Spanish American, when I got it, I don't know, BUT I DIDN'T INSTALL IT

They're just giving you options. You're free to never select and ignore them. Search engines aren't things that are installed or do anything, it just tells samsung internet which website to use to search for things.

There's no benefit to deleting them, just ignore them and they won't do anything.

I can probably best compare it to getting annoyed your phone has languages other than english in the language list. Them existing doesn't harm you, it's just giving you options. Some people might want them

No, Samsung ad Ask Jeeves too, and Yandex.com on first page, so I deleted twice Samsung Internet browser to get rid of prehistoric Ask Jeeves, than download Samsung Internet browser in Google Play Store, but now I have annoying notification that newer Samsung Internet browser version is available in Galaxy Store, version 29.0.1.11 WHICH GOOGLE CANT FIND IT
