Latest Version of Samsung’s Internet App Gets New Updates

The latest version of Samsung’s internet browser is available for download, and it brings some new privacy and security improvements for users.

According to Samsung, the app improves on its AI-powered Smart anti-tracking function, which is turned on by default on the browser, and will help prevent third parties from tracking personal data. Users will also be able to access a default safer HTTPS setting when typing a URL in the app.

The app will also take a visual snapshot of the user’s privacy dashboard, which can then be opened in the Quick Access page. Data included in the snapshot will include a record of weekly activities, as well as settings that can be tweaked to suit personal preferences.

According to Heejin Chung, Head of Web R&D Group at Mobile eXperience Business Samsung Electronics, “Samsung Internet 17.0 is the result of years of research that has allowed us to put our most powerful and protected browsing experience yet in the hands of any Galaxy user.”

If you haven’t downloaded the update yet, you can head over to the Google Play app and search for Samsung Internet on the app to initiate the update, or via the Galaxy Store on your Samsung device.
