Samsung Introduces Samsung Internet for Windows
Samsung, known for its popular Galaxy smartphones, has incorporated its in-house Samsung Internet browser in every device they distribute. Despite their wide reach, a recent Statcounter report reveals that Samsung Internet holds only a 3% market share. In an effort to address this, Samsung has launched a PC version of the browser specifically designed for Windows-based computers, now available on the Microsoft Store.
Syncing Across Devices Made Easier
One of the key advantages of Samsung Internet on Windows is its ability to streamline the user experience across different devices. Users can now sync their browsing data, including history, bookmarks, and open tabs, between their smartphones and PCs. This feature eliminates a previous barrier that prevented many users from utilizing Samsung Internet on their phones.
Limited Syncing Features
Although the Windows version of Samsung Internet is still in its early stages, users can sign in with their Samsung accounts. However, the syncing capabilities are currently limited. Notably, important features such as syncing passwords are currently missing from the Windows version.
Familiar Features, Some Exclusions
Samsung Internet on Windows includes some features from its Android counterpart, such as an ad-blocker and anti-tracking capabilities. However, users who are accustomed to the Android version may find that certain features, such as the translator tool for foreign languages, are missing from the Windows version.
Customizable Browsing Experience
One positive aspect of Samsung Internet for Windows is its compatibility with the Chrome Web Store. This means users can add extensions to customize their browsing experience. Despite this advantage, the Windows version of Samsung Internet is more basic compared to its Android counterpart.
In conclusion, Samsung's introduction of Samsung Internet for Windows aims to expand its market share in the browser market. By offering syncing capabilities and familiar features, Samsung hopes to attract users who previously hesitated to use Samsung Internet on their smartphones. While the Windows version is still in its early stages and lacks certain features, it provides a promising foundation for future improvements.
