Samsung announces Samsung Internet browser for Windows PCs

We recently learned through a new version of Samsung Internet that Samsung is preparing to bring its popular mobile browser to Windows again, following a short-lived release in late 2023. The company has now made it official: Samsung Internet for PC is coming to Windows, 13 years after its debut on mobile devices.

Samsung will first release a beta version of the browser on October 30, which will be available to users in Korea and the USA, with a wider rollout planned for a later, unspecified date. Samsung Internet for PC supports Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809 or later and works on ARM-powered devices as well.

Samsung doesn’t appear to be making the PC version exclusive to its Galaxy Book notebooks, and that’s not surprising. The mobile version of Samsung Internet isn’t exclusive to Galaxy devices either; it’s available for any Android phone or tablet, regardless of brand.

The PC version will include many of the same features as the mobile one, such as smart anti-Tracking to block cookies and trackers, and a Privacy Dashboard that lets you choose which interruptions to block while showing the total number of trackers stopped each day.

Interestingly, Samsung is also integrating Galaxy AI into the PC browser. The Browsing Assist feature will enable summarization and translation of web pages in various languages. You will also be able to switch to your phone and continue browsing a webpage from where you left it on PC (this will work the other way around as well).

Naturally, Samsung Internet on PC will support syncing data between the Windows and Android versions. Users will be able to sync bookmarks, browsing history, and login information saved in Samsung Pass. The latter suggests Samsung may soon make Samsung Pass available to all Windows users; currently, it’s limited to Galaxy Books and select Windows computers.

More features will be revealed once the browser goes live on Windows. We also expect Samsung Internet for PC to support extensions and ad blockers, along with modes such as secret (incognito), dark, and reader mode.
