Samsung Brings Its Browser to Windows in Global Release With Perplexity-Powered AI

The move signals Samsung's bid to pull Galaxy users into a cross-device workflow powered by built-in AI.

Overview

  • Samsung exited beta Thursday with a global Windows release for Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11 after a five-month test period.
  • A Perplexity-powered assistant now performs agentic tasks such as summarizing pages, comparing info across open tabs, planning trips from the page in view, and jumping to moments inside videos.
  • Cross-device continuity resumes pages with the same scroll position when moving from a Galaxy phone to PC, but it requires a Samsung account plus Continuity Service or Galaxy Connect and currently works on Galaxy Book 3–6.
  • AI features are limited to the United States and South Korea for now, with Samsung saying more regions will follow.
  • The browser is a Chromium-based alternative to Chrome and Edge with Samsung Pass and Notes built in, and coverage flagged a minor version-number discrepancy and called for easy AI off switches.
