Your next web browser on Windows may be made by a smartphone maker. Samsung Browser is now officially available on Windows devices after a six-month test, bringing the previously exclusive mobile browser to desktop for the first time.

Samsung’s main selling point is that users can switch seamlessly between mobile and desktop. The current tab you're visiting on your Android phone will appear with a notification in the top right of the desktop browser, allowing you to switch that web page to your larger screen.

The browser on Windows also integrates with any passwords or personal information you have saved in Samsung Pass, allowing you to use them across two devices with little friction.

The design looks similar to Chrome, and it’s packed full of AI productivity features like you’d expect from any major web browser in 2026. Features include natural language search for your browsing history, letting you find previous results without remembering the exact keywords you used or when you searched it.

The AI tool also reads the web page you're viewing to gain extra context. For example, its Multi-tab Context Awareness feature combines key information from open tabs into a summary. You may find this helpful when comparing multiple products and comparing spec lists across multiple tabs.

Other features enable the AI to use the current page to generate summarized results within a natural language response. The example Samsung gives is that you can ask its AI to use a travel page to build a trip itinerary, distilling the highlights into an easy-to-follow plan for a four-day adventure.

Samsung's built-in AI is designed to offer "smarter" search, such as finding results faster than through a search engine. An example given by Samsung is finding a YouTube video for its latest Galaxy Unpacked event and starting it from the moment the Privacy Display feature is mentioned. The AI finds that exact moment in the video, eliminating the need to scrub through it.

You can download Samsung Browser in the US and South Korea, with plans to bring it to more locations later. It’s available on all Windows 11 devices and on Windows 10 with version 1809 or later. Samsung hasn't confirmed or denied plans to bring its browser to Mac, but it's unlikely, given you can't get it on Apple's mobile operating systems.
