Description

Show full descriptionShow less

Samsung Browser provides the best web browsing experience for you with Video Assistant, Dark Mode, Customize menu, Extensions such as Translator, and by protecting your privacy with Secret mode, Smart Anti-Tracking and Smart Protection.

Samsung Browser with tiles and complication feature is available on Galaxy Watch devices that support Wear OS (※ Galaxy Watch 4 series and models released later)

■ New Features for you
* Supports “Split view” for efficient multi-view browsing (※ Tablet-only)
When you select “Split view” from the menu, the browser window splits into left and right panes, allowing you to view two web pages side by side at the same time.

* Support instant switching to open tabs via the URL bar search field
When you search for a page in the URL bar, if that page is already open, you can go directly to that tab without loading a new page.
