I was a bit worried that there would be only two browsers left, but the data at [0] showed that Samsung Internet (I have never heard of this one) and Opera also have single digit percentages.

Samsung Internet and Opera are downstream users of Chromium. They do some work on the UI and sync but that's about it.

There are only 3 "more than a UI change" browsers with any significant usage share now, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

Samsung Internet is an outstanding browser on Android. Pinch to zoom on almost any site, build in QR scanner, but perhaps most importantly, the ability to use an ad block extension.

Firefox does this on Android, too. To enable pinch-to-zoom on all websites, turn on Settings > Accessibility > Zoom on all websites. The QR code scanner is accessible through the Scan option above the address bar. uBlock Origin can be enabled in the Add-ons screen with no further configuration needed.
