Samsung Internet has it figured out. The company has it in One UI 8.5 was renamed to Browser, although it is true that the application as such is not ending and the main thing here is the aforementioned renaming. However, now the original application is also receiving an update in the superstructure One UI 8, which definitively kills the term "internet" there as well.
Starting with a series Galaxy S26 Samsung Internet has transformed into Samsung Browser, which is now available out of the box on models Galaxy A57 and A37 and now also on older models with bodywork One UI 8, thanks to an app update. This is a bold move by Samsung when it comes to the identity of an app that its millions of users have used for years. But there's another new feature.

The update to version 29.0.5.3 not only renames the application, but also introduces a new feature. It will warn you when you visit a potentially malicious website. In such a case, the browser will display a notification, allowing you to decide whether to continue browsing or end the session.

If you choose the latter and continue browsing for some reason, you will at least be aware that the website may be potentially harmful and you should not share personal or financial information on it. Changelog The new version of the application also of course mentions bug fixes and improvements to the application's stability.
What will happen to the Samsung Internet app next? It is expected that the company will replace it with Browser at least in the future. One UI 7. It will then just live on other devices. However, if you use it too, you don't have to worry about its fate. Since Samsung integrates its smart features into it, Galaxy AI, I don't think he would want to end it at the expense of Chrome.
Samsung Internet (now Browser) is getting updates on Android 10 and above, so I would expect the change to be reflected everywhere, so how about One UI 2.0 and later, and on other devices running Android 10 or later, where the user has installed the app. Why change the branding only somewhere? There's no reason not to finish it.
