Samsung Launches Windows Version of its Web Browser With Galaxy AI Features

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.

“This beta program unlocks a more connected experience across mobile and PC, while setting the stage for more intelligent browsing experiences to come,” said Won-Joon Choi, Chief Operating Officer of the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. “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.”

The main Galaxy AI feature available on Samsung Internet is Browsing Assist, which can summarize and translate web pages. While this is pretty basic, Samsung promised to « unlock even richer, more intuitive browsing experiences for users across the Galaxy ecosystem.»

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.
