Samsung brings its browser to PC with plenty of cool tricks in tow

One browser to rule your phone, your PC, and the infinite number of tabs you have open right now.

Samsung has officially launched Samsung Browser for Windows, and it’s more than just a desktop version of your phone’s browser. It comes with cross-device continuity and an AI assistant that seems genuinely useful.

Continuity browsing to help keep your tabs in check

Samsung Browser for Windows lets you pick up exactly where you left off on your phone. Not just syncing bookmarks or history, but actually continuing on the same webpage as you move from your Samsung phone to your PC.

That means you no longer need to open the same tab multiple times on your devices. Start browsing on your mobile and continue where you left off on your desktop, and vice versa.

Samsung Pass also carries over, so signing in and autofilling your details works seamlessly across both devices.

What about all the AI features?

This is where things get interesting. Samsung Browser comes with a built-in AI assistant powered by Perplexity, and it goes well beyond answering simple questions.

The AI assistant keeps a contextual awareness of the webpage you are browsing. Let’s say you are planning a trip to Seoul and have a travel page open. You can ask the assistant to create an itinerary, and it will read the content on the page and create that itinerary for you. 

It works with video content too. It can understand the content of the video and help you find a specific part without spending minutes hunting for it. Just ask what information you are looking for, and it will find it for you. 

Searching your browsing history also gets a long-overdue upgrade. Instead of scrolling through dates or guessing keywords, you can use natural language terms, like “find that smartwatch I was looking at last week,” and it will track it down.

Finally, the feature I like the most is that the assistant works across your tabs. Instead of clicking through multiple pages to compare products or prices, Samsung Browser can summarize and compare content across all your open tabs in one shot.

Samsung Browser is currently available for Windows 10 (version 1809 and above) and Windows 11 devices. The AI features are currently available in South Korea and the United States, with support for more markets coming soon.

Have you ever asked a chatbot something and felt like it completely missed your point? You say something with a bit of nuance, and the AI misses the subtlety entirely. That is exactly the problem researchers are trying to solve.

Even though the emotional connection with AI can feel deeper than human conversation for many users, most AI systems today still treat a sentence as a single block of sentiment. If you mix praise and criticism, the nuance often gets lost.

Turns out, if you ask an AI to play an expert, it gets less reliable
Asking AI to pretend it's an expert can backfire, but researchers may have found a fix.
AI

you’ve probably seen the tip floating around: tell AI to act like an expert in a field, and you’ll get better answers. It’s popular advice, and it does work, sometimes. However, a new study suggests that using AI personas may not be as effective as we thought it would be.

Researchers from the University of California tested 12 different personas across six language models. The personas ranged from math and coding experts to creative writers and safety monitors. The goal was to find out how well AI performs when it is instructed to act as an expert.
