Browser preferences are hugely personal - they almost all have pros and cons, more or less security and privacy, so I’m not going to advise a specific one. I can better (better, not _greatly_ secure my PC) so I use my mobile options judiciously.

From Samsung’s [mobile device support](https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10002646/) on enabling translate for the Samsung Browser, you can also try these steps:

> ## **How can I translate webpages into another language?**
> 
> First, open the **Internet** app, and then tap **Menu** (three horizontal lines). Tap **Settings** , and then tap **Browsing assist**. Tap **Translate** , and then download your desired language. Next, open the webpage you want to translate, and then tap the **Browsing assist** icon. Tap **Translate**. If you’d like to translate into another language, tap the language drop-down at the top of the screen, and then tap the language you’d like to use. Tap **+Add language** to see the list of supported languages.

Note - this is going to depend a lot on the device and version of Android it supports, so if you know _which_ Samsung phone you have, it’ll help us narrow it down.

I’ll bet Chrome is already installed on your phone, and it has a translate function built in. That’s probably the easiest way to go.

Sounds good. I’m going to start by updating Samsung explorer.
