Samsung Internetmobile browser from the Galaxy series, now available on Windows. The South Korean giant has launched a desktop version of its popular Android app, with which it hopes to gain a foothold in this segment.
According to a report from 9to5GoogleSamsung released version for Windows 10 and Windows 11 from your internet browser. Application can be downloaded for free from the Windows Store and offers basic features such as bookmarks, browsing history, incognito mode and an ad blocker. If you have a Samsung account, you can sync saved websites and tabs open on your Galaxy.
Because Samsung Internet It is based on Chromium, has support for plugins (extensions) from the Chrome Web Store. Unfortunately, they are currently disabled, as is password synchronization. Navigator does not include standard refresh rate support modern monitors (60 Hz), so scrolling through the website is as slow as when you enter the website. Yahoo in 1999.
Samsung Browser for Windows this looks like a beta version and this is far from what its Android counterpart offers. The product page in the Windows Store only contains screenshot and general description. When we launch the application, we will see a page in Korean, so this may be a trial version.
Those who want to install it will be able to download it directly from the Windows App Store. Samsung did not provide a list of minimum hardware requirements or operating system version. The download size is only 130MB, so if you regret it and delete it, you won’t waste too much bandwidth or storage space.
Samsung will look for a place in desktop browsers
Far from being the current version, in need of optimization and lacking basic functions, Samsung’s browser for Windows will have a difficult mission. The desktop market is dominated by Chrome, and that trend is far from changing. Despite attempts by Microsoft and other manufacturers to close the gap, Google’s browser maintains a strong lead of more than 50%.
Samsung has an ace up its sleeve that could open up a spot for it: synchronization with the galaxy. Enterprise mobile phone users typically prefer the default browser due to integration with other services. If the Windows version can match the performance and offer all the features of its Android counterpart, it will be a different story.
Another strategy to consider is offer Samsung Internet as a separate download from the Windows Store, just like other desktop browsers.
