â–º In a nutshell
- Samsung Browser officially launched on Windows
- Smooth sync with Galaxy devices
- Built-in video tools and blocked ads
The formalization of a long-teased project
After months of leaks and speculation, Samsung has lifted the veil on its browser for Windows in a discreet but official announcement. Called simply “Samsung Internet”, it is no longer a beta version hidden in the Microsoft Store. This arrival on PC marks a turning point for the Korean giant.
Chrome dominates with more than 65% of the global market, but Samsung is banking on its ecosystem to eat up share. The browser synchronizes tabs, passwords and history between your Galaxy S25, your Galaxy Book and your Windows PC – a flawless performance that Edge is still struggling to match outside of Microsoft.
Technical assets that change the game
Samsung Internet excels in video management: native PIP player, gesture controls and optimized ad blocking. Android Authority confirmed the stable release yesterday, highlighting its customized Chromium base for 20% lower memory consumption than Chrome on average. It’s concrete: on my test setup (Windows 11 + Galaxy Fold), the video tabs persist without jerks, unlike Chrome which eats up RAM.
Why can Samsung really compete with Chrome?
Samsung doesn’t just copy: its browser includes Galaxy Store extensions and a free VPN for Premium subscribers. For mobility pros, it’s ideal – imagine going from a Teams call on PC to video editing on tablet without losing the thread. Edge attempted the breach with Copilot AI, but Samsung counterattacks with unrivaled cross-platform privacy.
This offensive is part of the post-2025 browser war: EU regulators are forcing Google to open Chromium, and Samsung, with its 300 million active devices, has strong backs. Stats show that 15% of Android users already use Samsung Internet as their default – a breeding ground ready to migrate to Windows.
Steps to test and adopt Samsung Browser
- Download from Microsoft Store, enable Galaxy sync.
- Import your Chrome data via the built-in wizard (5 min).
- Activate the ad and PIP blocker for smooth browsing.
Samsung Browser : le défi à Chrome est lancé
In summary, this browser is not just a gadget: it meets a real need for ecosystem coherence for the 200 million Galaxy users on Windows. Its stability and video tools position it as a serious alternative. Chrome remains king, but Samsung plants a strong flag. If you have a Galaxy, now is the time to switch and redefine your workflow.
