I love LastPass. Can be secured with a fingerprint. Sync's across your browser on PC. Can use these passwords to log you in to apps. Costs £12 (or is it $12) a year. Well worth it.

You can import your bookmarks to the Samsung browser, but it won't keep your sub folders.
I've never tried the Samsung sync extension though.

I can't believe I'm still on 92% from 7am this morning just because I took Facebook & Messenger off and replaced with Metal.

Has anyone else's Nova installation gone a bit awry with the latest beta update? All white background on the apps list and can't see folder tabs in the apps list either.
Funnily enough I've have gave this a go past few days and just feel like I miss the actual app too much. Lacks a few features and notifications aren't anywhere as good.
Samsungs good lock is fantastic for a stock Android experience

I'm thinking of trying it. Can you still use the separate messenger app. Did you use the paid version of metal?

Last charge was 7am yesterday morning and I'm still on 69%.
It won't hurt to uninstall Facebook & Messenger and try Metal.
I'm not sure disabling works!

Ok. Metal pro for £1.50 the best version?

I don't know, I use the normal one but I'm not exactly a Facebooker, I look at it now & then.
I think the Pro has been tweaked more and let's face it, if you can save that much battery power daily for £1.50 it's a steal.
Try Swipe, there is also a pro paid version much better experience than the offical app
I really like the Microsoft Next lock screen on my Edge
I think you only have to pay for the extra features. After the 'trial' we've all been forced onto with the latest update, expires, I think the free version continues. Hope the intrusive 'Subscribe Now' disappears too. They must be off their heads if they think I'm going to stump up £45/year
See what happens after the short trial and may go back to Email TypeApp or Blue Mail is another option.
After Cloudmagic/Newton tried to bend me over a barrel, sans lube, I looked around for a new mail app. I've settled on AquaMail, doesn't look as pretty but seems a bit more funcional. Not free but a one off £3 odd, not paid yet, still looking for annoyances.
I think if cloudmagic charged all their existing users maybe up to £5 one off, a lot of people would pay it, I would have. A subscription of £45 per year is stupid and they would have chased off the vast majority of their users, ultimately making a lot less money. Just my thoughts and could well be wrong.

i use chrome broswer on my 6P. lately there has been a lot of rubbish sites that have adverts and pop ups that try to force you to install stuff.
for instance today i googled on my phone something like barbie girl song lyrics. clicked on the first site which was azlyrics. loads up fine and for about 10 seconds i could read the lyrics when all of a sudden a new tab is opened, a pop up notification is shown reading something like "hey EE Nexus 6P owner, you need the new battery saver setting to be activated. Click ok to continue" I click back, and i'm stuck in a back loop, i click cancel same thing until hte browser eventually asks me do i want to stop this page from creating pop ups. i click yes and it goes.
i hate this. this is why ad blockers are required on mobiles. it ****es me off that this junk can happen on a seemingly normal high ranking site.
is this an issue with chrome i can stop or will i need a new browser, or am i likely to get this there too? i have prvent pop ups ticked within chrome settings but it still happens

I saw that happening a mile off last year so I then moved to BlueMail and have been happy ever since. I now fear BlueMail may do the same :/
Nine Mail is superb. I use it with Exchange/365 hybrid and an Office 365 account. It's got some great features and is fully Materialised.
It's not cheap, but it's a one off payment and does exactly what I have been wanting without the faff of the official Outlook app or built in Email clients.

Unfortunately a lot of sites are like this, compared to the desktop mobile ads are far more aggressive.
Sadly Google has no plans for extension support: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/35v8gi/we_are_the_chrome_for_android_team_ama/cr8alzk
If you're rooted you can use something like Adaway to block ads, but if not you'll pretty much need to use a different browser.
I found Firefox with the uBlock origin addon to be the best in terms of ad blocking.
Personally though I'm using TugaBrowser which does have a built in ad blocker, although not as powerful as uBlock, pretty much blocks all the intrusive ads.
