Over the years, Samsung Internet has evolved into a capable, fast, feature-rich, and privacy-forward web browser on Android. Recently, Samsung released a Windows version of its web browser, and while it is decent and has some unique features (like Galaxy AI summarization support), it feels like Samsung is still playing catch-up with serious alternatives like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
Here are three features that could help convert some users from competing web browsers to Samsung Internet. These features are small but could have a big impact on your day-to-day usage.
One of my favorite things about Samsung Internet is its built-in Reader Mode on phones and tablets. It not only removes pesky ads, comments, and unnecessary sidebars, but it also looks good while doing so. It offers text size adjustments and supports dark mode. However, the feature, which I deem essential in any web browser, is entirely missing from the PC version of the Samsung Internet app.
And while Samsung is at it, it should also consider adding the following features to reader mode:
Samsung Internet offers menu and toolbar customization on phones and tablets, but the feature is missing from the PC version of the app. It should ideally offer a drag-and-drop solution for toolbar editing so that you can change the place of each icon that you regularly use. It is available in Chrome and Safari, and it should be available in Samsung Internet as well.
I regularly use features like bookmarks, Reader Mode, and extensions, and I would like to customise their placement. I would also like to change the placement of back, forward, and refresh buttons. There should also be an option to add Copy Link, Print, and Share buttons directly to the toolbar.
Not everyone likes the traditional horizontal tab layout, especially those who have dozens of open tabs in their web browser. This feature is already available in Microsoft Edge and is coming soon to Google Chrome. Samsung is known for making feature-rich apps, and staying true to its image, the company should bring a vertical tab layout option to Samsung Internet.
Individually, these features might seem simple, but together, they could turn Samsung Internet from a decent option to a productivity wonder. On top of all these features, Samsung should also ensure the PC version of its web browser is tightly integrated and synced with your phone. It should sync reader lists, toolbar customisations, Quick Share, and privacy settings.

- Font options (Sans Serif and Serif options)
- Line height and width adjustments
- Margin adjustments
2. Layout customization

3. Vertical tabs for better visibility and improved workflow
