Features & Capabilities

Samsung Internet is a secure, private and optimized mobile web browser from Samsung. It delivers an enhanced viewing experience with Video Assistant and Dark Mode, customizable menus, and useful extensions like Translator. New tab management upgrades include an Auto close unused tabs option and a refreshed Grid view with multi-column layout and smooth scroll animations for easier navigation.

Privacy and security are core features: Smart Anti-Tracking blocks cross-site storage access, Protected Browsing warns about malicious sites, and support for third-party Content Blockers helps streamline and secure web content. Samsung Internet also supports tiles and complication features on Wear OS Galaxy Watches and requests only optional permissions (camera, location, microphone, storage, etc.) when needed for web features.

Cons
