Samsung is bringing its mobile web browser, Samsung Internet, to PC. Announced on Thursday, Samsung Internet for PC is now available through a beta program, which you can sign up for.
While the user base of Samsung Internet on the mobile front is less than 4%, according to StatCounter, the move still makes sense. Samsung has had its own web browser for its Galaxy devices for years and has been making Windows PCs for even longer. The new PC browser beta is now available for all Windows devices.

Samsung Internet for PC will include typical browser features that you'd expect from a solution available for both mobile and desktop, like Chrome. Bookmarks, passwords and other data are synced across devices, so you can easily pick up where you left off on one device and continue on another.
Samsung is touting its secure browsing in the PC beta, including smart anti-tracking, which helps block third-party web trackers to prevent the collection of personal data.
You'll also have access to a built-in Privacy Dashboard, which allows you to view and adjust security settings on the fly. The new beta will ship with a few Galaxy AI features found on Samsung smartphones, like Browsing Assist, which translates and summarizes webpages.
If you're interested in checking out the new PC browser, Windows 10 and 11 users in the US and Korea can sign up to join the beta, with a wider rollout to follow later on.
Samsung says this is just the beginning and it's laying out the foundation for a browser that "evolves with its users and devices."
