The Samsung Internet Browser has been around for years as the built-in web browser on Galaxy phones and tablets, and Samsung has been working on a Windows version. Now, the desktop browser is finally available for everyone, with a few unique Samsung integrations.
Samsung released a beta version of the Samsung Browser for PC back in October, and the final version arrived earlier today. It’s still based on Chromium, just like Chrome, Vivaldi, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and most other PC web browsers (excluding Firefox and its derivatives), with a design that looks close to Chrome and Edge.
The main selling point for Samsung Browser is the integration with Galaxy phones and tablets. It synchronizes bookmarks and browser history with the Android web browser, and you can send tabs back and forth between your devices—you still need the Samsung Continuity Service or Galaxy Connect app installed for that to work, though. The browser can also use Samsung Pass for storing passwords, though you could already add that to Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge with Samsung’s extensions.
It’s 2026, so of course there has to be some AI features somewhere. The desktop browser “brings agentic AI directly into the browsing experience in partnership with Perplexity,” so you can ask questions about your tabs in a chat sidebar. It doesn’t seem like the AI assistant can click inside pages to perform tasks, like Chrome and Edge are trying to implement, but the other expected functionality is there.
The browser might be helpful for anyone knee-deep in Samsung’s device ecosystem, but there’s not much of a reason for anyone else to try it. The browser is also still only available for Windows, with no version for macOS or Linux. If you want a Chromium browser that isn’t Chrome, Vivaldi can be endlessly customized, and it supports more operating systems with cross-device synchronization.
Samsung said in its announcement, “Samsung Browser for Windows bridges the gap between devices, allowing users to seamlessly continue browsing as they move between mobile and PC. Beyond simple synchronization of bookmarks and browsing history, users can pick up exactly where they left off.”
You can download Samsung Browser from the official website for Windows 10 (version 1809 and above) or Windows 11. Hopefully, it won’t break your system like Samsung’s other PC app.
