Samsung has officially expanded its browser, Samsung Internet, to the desktop environment, making a beta version available for computers with the Windows operating system. The application can now be found and downloaded directly from Microsoft Store, marking a strategic step by the company to unify its users’ experience between mobile devices and PCs.
This initiative aims to meet a growing demand for greater integration and continuity in the digital workflow. With the new version, users who already use the browser on their Galaxy smartphones and tablets can now synchronize their data natively and transparently with their computers, ensuring that favorites, history and open tabs are always accessible.
The launch, which took place gradually after an initial phase in selected markets, now reaches a wider audience, allowing more people to have access to features focused on privacy and performance, which are already known and consolidated in the version for Android.
Availability and access on Microsoft Store
Samsung Internet is free to download for users of Windows 10 (from version 1809) and The company guarantees that updates will be distributed automatically through the same platform, ensuring that users receive security fixes and new features continuously and without complications.
Initially, distribution was focused on specific markets, such as Coreia, Sul and Estados Unidos, to collect feedback and make adjustments. With the good reception, Samsung accelerated global expansion, allowing the application to reach more regions. The rolling release strategy allowed the company to refine the software and ensure greater stability for its growing user base, consolidating its presence in the competitive desktop browser market.
Main features offered on the desktop
The Windows version of Samsung Internet inherits the main features that made it popular in the mobile environment. The main one is full data synchronization through the Samsung account. Isso means that favorites, passwords, browsing history and even tabs that were open on your smartphone appear instantly on your computer, and vice versa, creating a fluid and uninterrupted user experience.
Built on the foundation of the Chromium project, the browser offers high compatibility with modern web standards, ensuring that websites and online applications function correctly. Essa architecture also allows support for a selection of popular extensions, which can be installed to add new functionality, such as advanced ad blockers or productivity tools, customizing browsing to suit each person’s needs.
Another notable feature is dark mode, which integrates with the operating system’s theme. If the Windows is set to dark mode, the browser will automatically follow this setting, helping to reduce eye strain during nighttime use or in low-light environments. The interface was carefully adapted for larger screens, maintaining the brand’s organization and visual identity.
Focus on user privacy and security
One of the pillars of Samsung Internet is its strong appeal to privacy. The browser comes equipped with an intelligent tracker blocking function, which acts discreetly to prevent third-party websites from monitoring the user’s internet activity. Essa protection helps reduce the amount of targeted advertising and protects personal information from data collection without consent.
For browsing sessions that require maximum stealth, “Secreto Mode” is available. When activated, it ensures that no data from that session, such as history of pages visited, cookies or form information, is saved on the device. When closing the secret tab, all traces of browsing are permanently deleted.
Security is enhanced with an advanced anti-tracking system that identifies and blocks known threats, including phishing sites that attempt to steal credentials. The browser displays clear visual alerts whenever the user tries to access a page that is considered suspicious, offering an extra layer of protection against online fraud.
Additionally, the “Biometric Web Login” functionality allows users with compatible devices to use biometric authentication, such as fingerprint, to log in to websites. Isso eliminates the need to repeatedly enter passwords and increases security, as access is only granted with physical verification of the user.
Full integration with the Galaxy ecosystem
The biggest beneficiaries of this launch are, without a doubt, users who are already part of the Samsung device ecosystem. Native integration goes beyond simply syncing bookmarks. Ferramentas and Samsung Pass, a secure password manager, allow automatic filling of credentials on websites, with authentication being done via smartphone.
Connecting to Samsung Cloud also plays a key role, serving as a secure backup for all browsing data. Essa centralization ensures that, even in the event of a device change, be it a cell phone or a computer, user information can be restored quickly and securely, simply by logging into the Samsung account.
System Requirements and Installation Process
To ensure fluid and stable performance, the Samsung Internet to Windows has some technical requirements. You must have Windows 10 in version 1809 or higher, or any version of Windows 11. The browser is compatible with x64 architecture processors, which is the standard on most modern computers. Samsung recommends a minimum of 4 GB of RAM for a stutter-free multitasking experience, although the application is optimized to manage resource consumption efficiently. The storage space required for installation is relatively low, taking up approximately 200 MB, with updates being managed automatically by Microsoft Store. The installation process is straightforward: the user just needs to open the store, search for “Samsung Internet”, click “Install” and, in a few minutes, the browser will be ready to use in the Iniciar menu. On first run, you are offered the option to log in with your Samsung account to activate synchronization and import data from other browsers on your computer.
Support for extensions and customization
Compatibility with extensions based on Chromium opens up a range of possibilities for customizing the browsing experience. Users can install add-ons directly from a dedicated, certified store within the browser, adding functionality ranging from ad blockers to translation tools and task managers. Isso allows each person to adapt the browser to their workflow, making it an even more powerful and versatile tool for everyday life, whether for work, study or leisure.
