What it is

Samsung Internet is a free web browser from Samsung for Android phones and tablets, Windows PCs, and browser extensions. It uses the Chromium engine and supports continuing browsing between devices. That handoff requires the same Samsung Account on both devices; continuing apps also requires Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and the “Continue apps on other devices” setting. Galaxy AI features can summarize or translate webpages and read selected text aloud on supported devices. Availability depends on language, region, operating system, and device, and some features may require a network connection and Samsung Account. Users can move the menu and URL bar, rearrange the Customize menu, and add up to seven toolbar features. Secret Mode removes cookies and browsing history after its tabs close, while saved items remain available only there. Samsung Internet includes Smart Anti-Tracking, a Privacy Dashboard, biometric sign-in on supported devices, and video playback controls. PC content blockers are supported; Android ad blocking requires a compatible third-party app.
