Why bother putting its mobile browser on Windows? Well, the company offers a hint in describing Samsung Internet as &#8220;evolving from a PC browser that waits for input to an integrated AI platform.&#8221; So, surprise, surprise: It&#8217;s about AI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">As one would imagine, Samsung Internet on Windows supports cross-platform syncing of data like bookmarks, browsing history and autofill. The company says it also prioritizes privacy and security, offering standard features like tracker blocking and a privacy dashboard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">But those aren&#8217;t likely the main reasons Samsung is launching a desktop web browser in 2025. (Incidentally, Samsung briefly <a data-i13n=\"elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-internet-browser-finally-comes-to-windows-pc\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:launched;elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:2;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">launched<\/a> Samsung Internet for Windows in 2024, before <a data-i13n=\"elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-internet-windows-seemingly-pulled-from-microsoft-store\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:pulling;elm:context_link;elmt:doNotAffiliate;cpos:3;pos:1;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">pulling<\/a> it from the Microsoft Store without fanfare.) Instead, this launch appears to be about positioning it in the rapidly emerging landscape of AI browsers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">AI browsers have been all the rage lately. Samsung&#8217;s move follows the launch of <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/openais-ai-powered-browser-chatgpt-atlas-launches-on-macos-today-170735742.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:OpenAI&#039;s ChatGPT Atlas;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT Atlas<\/a>, <a data-i13n=\"cpos:5;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/microsoft-makes-edges-copilot-mode-a-bit-smarter-160031147.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Microsoft&#039;s Edge Copilot Mode updates;cpos:5;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Microsoft&#8217;s Edge Copilot Mode updates<\/a>, <a data-i13n=\"cpos:6;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/operas-ai-browser-will-cost-you-20-a-month-123022110.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Opera Neon&#039;s early access;cpos:6;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Opera Neon&#8217;s early access<\/a> and general availability for <a data-i13n=\"cpos:7;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/ai\/perplexitys-comet-ai-browser-is-now-free-for-everyone-170017509.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Perplexity&#039;s Comet browser;cpos:7;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Perplexity&#8217;s Comet browser<\/a>. Samsung says its cross-platform browser will advance its &#8220;vision for ambient AI,&#8221; anticipating your needs and offering more personalized assistance. If Samsung wants to be part of that fray, it makes sense for its software to be available on the desktop, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Samsung Internet is available (via a beta program) for Windows 11 and Windows 10 (version 1809 and up).
