Samsung Internet is a web browser that offers a superior browsing experience with its various features such as Video Assistant, Dark Mode, Customize menu, and Extensions like Translator. It also prioritizes your privacy by providing features like Secret mode, Smart Anti-Tracking, and Smart Protection. These features make Samsung Internet a reliable and secure option for browsing the internet.
The latest version of Samsung Internet comes with new features that enhance the user experience. One of these features is the ability to search for settings within the app, making it easier to find specific options. Additionally, the app now offers end-to-end encryption for synced data, ensuring that your saved pages, bookmarks, open tabs, quick access, and history are protected in the Samsung Cloud. This feature is available for devices with OneUI 6.1 or higher, and can be accessed through the Samsung Cloud app version 5.5.10 or higher.
Some changes have been made to the app's interface, such as the removal of options to change the scroll bar position and hide the scroll bar. These changes aim to improve the overall usability of the app.
Samsung Internet prioritizes the security and privacy of its users while browsing the internet. It offers features like Smart Anti-Tracking, which identifies and blocks domains with cross-site tracking abilities, and Protected Browsing, which warns users before accessing known malicious sites. The app also allows third-party content blockers, making browsing safer and more streamlined.
In order to improve the app's usability, A/B testing may be conducted on versions 21.0 or later. This testing collects data on feature usage rates, but does not collect any personal information from users.
The app requires certain permissions to function properly, such as location, camera, microphone, and storage access. These permissions are only used to provide specific features requested by the user or the webpage in use. For optional permissions, the default functionality is turned on but not allowed. For example, the app may require access to the phone's information for country-specific feature optimization, but this permission is only required for devices with Android 11 or higher. Overall, Samsung Internet prioritizes user privacy and only collects necessary information for its services.
