Samsung’s branded Internet browser is preinstalled on all of its Android devices. If you’ve never opened it (or never did it once, then switched to Chrome), the company is hoping you find out with some new improvements. Version 14.0 is now in beta, available for download from the Galaxy Store, Play Store and more from APK Mirror.

Based on the update text from Samsung’s press site, the new version includes the following changes:

  • Now based on Chromium 87
  • “Improved intelligent anti-tracking” which automatically clears cookies at scheduled intervals
  • A new privacy control panel, showing the number of pop-ups and cookies blocked
  • On Galaxy Fold and Flip devices: Automatically launch Flex mode when a video goes full screen (previously needed the video assistant)
  • App Pair can launch two or three split-screen Samsung Internet windows at a time
  • System font applies to web pages
  • Galaxy Tab S7: handwriting recognition in text boxes and URL bar
  • Player mode improvements
  • Browser translation extension now supports 18 languages

Samsung says the update will be released sometime in April. And in case you didn’t know: the app is compatible with most Android devices, not just Samsung phones and tablets. Of course, device-specific features won’t be available everywhere.
