New Update Samsung Launches Windows Version of its Web Browser

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Samsung is launching a beta version of its web browser for Windows that integrates some of the Galaxy AI features available on its flagship Android smartphones. The new web browser is currently only available to users in South Korea and the United States. Early enthusiasts will need to sign up with a Samsung account to access it.

To be honest, I was a little confused by this announcement, as I wrote two years ago about Samsung quietly releasing a Windows version of its web browser on the Microsoft Store. I didn’t know about it, but 9to5Google reported back in January 2024 that Samsung had quietly pulled its browser from the store. It also looks like the app was quite rough around the edges, too.

Anyway, Samsung Internet is now officially available in beta on Windows, and it already lets users sync their browsing data from a Galaxy phone. The app will also let users resume their browsing session when switching between a Galaxy phone and a Windows PC, and Samsung also integrated anti-tracking and AI summarization features.

To try the Samsung Internet beta for Windows, you’ll need to sign up to the Samsung Developer Portal with a Samsung Account registered in South Korea or the US. The company plans to make the beta program available in more markets soon.

Interesting news, Gandalf_The_Grey! I remember that quiet Microsoft Store release from a couple of years back—it was pretty bare-bones and didn't stick around long. Good to see Samsung giving it another shot with some actual polish, especially tying in those Galaxy AI features like anti-tracking and session syncing.

On the security side, the built-in anti-tracking sounds promising for privacy-conscious users, assuming it holds up in practice. It'll be worth keeping an eye on how well it integrates with Windows' ecosystem without introducing any vulnerabilities. If anyone's in the beta regions and tries it out, I'd love to hear initial impressions—does the AI summarization feel useful, or is it more gimmicky?

For those outside SK or the US, fingers crossed the expansion happens soon.

After many years of being exclusive to mobile, Samsung has decided that it's time to bring its browser to Windows, aiming to give Google Chrome a run for its money by creating a more complete ecosystem for Galaxy users with "new agentic AI capabilities" and "cross-device continuity." This comes several months after the company launched a beta version of the desktop browser for testing in the US and South Korea.

Samsung Browser for Windows comes with the usual set of features that you'd expect from a desktop browser, including the ability to synchronize your bookmarks and browsing history between your phone and PC. You can also pick up browsing on one device exactly where you left off on another. There's also exclusive Samsung stuff like Samsung Pass that helps you securely store login information and autofill personal data.

The browser also comes with an AI-powered assistant built in partnership with Perplexity that understands the context of the webpage you're on and even what's happening in your currently open tabs. For example, if you are looking at a travel blog about Seoul, you can ask the assistant to create a four-day itinerary based on the article's content, which it will then generate for you. It can even summarize and compare information across multiple open tabs at once.
