Samsung Electronics has launched the beta release of Samsung Internet for PC, bringing its stock mobile browser to the desktop. One of the key factors in people’s choice of browser is whether they can sync their bookmarks and passwords between their devices, by bringing Samsung Internet to PC, the Korean phone maker delivers this, potentially allowing it to really compete with Google Chrome.
“As we expand Samsung Internet to PC, we’re excited to invite users to shape the future of browsing with us,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “This beta program unlocks a more connected experience across mobile and PC, while setting the stage for more intelligent browsing experiences to come. Looking ahead, Samsung Internet’s capabilities will redefine how users interact with the web, evolving from a PC browser that waits for input to an integrated AI platform that understands users while protecting personal data at every level.”
Key features of the browser include data sync which allows you to sync bookmarks and browsing history between mobile and PC. There is also secure autofill where personal data is synced with Samsung Pass for secure sign-in and autofill across devices.
Cross-device continuity is also present, this allows users to resume browsing when switching between devices, the browser will ask if you’d like to do this but you don’t have to if you want to start fresh. It also features Galaxy AI integration. When logged into a Samsung Account, users can access Galaxy AI capabilities like Browsing Assist for instant page translation and summarization.
Regarding security and privacy, the browser is built on the “Galaxy’s trusted foundation of privacy and security” with smart anti-tracking tools that block third-party web trackers attempting to collect personal information. There is also a Privacy Dashboard that allows users to view and manage protections in real time.
The Beta is available from October 30 on Windows 11 and Windows 10 (version 1809 and above). Right now, it is restricted to the United States and Korea with a broader expansion planned later. If you want to sign up you can do so on the Samsung Internet Beta website.
