Samsung has launched Samsung Internet for Windows, bringing its popular browser app to desktop operating systems. While the app allows syncing of browsing data between phones and PCs, full-fledged sync support is not yet available. Users can import browsing history, bookmarks, and search engines from other browsers. The browser supports ad blocker, secret mode, extension support, and light and dark mode themes. However, its performance on Windows needs improvement, with laggy scrolling being a notable issue. The app is available for installation on any Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC or laptop via the Microsoft Store.
OperaGX, the internet browser company, has introduced a new feature called "Fake My History" that acts as a "deadman switch" to automatically delete and replace a user's browsing history with a fake version. The feature is designed to protect users' privacy after they pass away or in less extreme cases, such as switching to a different browser. OperaGX generates random history links, including wholesome searches like volunteer opportunities and online courses, to replace the original browsing history. This feature aligns with the growing trend of tech companies addressing the privacy and social media preferences of deceased users.
The Arc browser, developed by The Browser Company, is now available for download without the need for a waitlist. Arc aims to be more than just a browser, offering tools for note-taking, collaborative work, webpage customization, and more. While the 1.0 version doesn't introduce any major new features, the company plans to expand to Windows and integrate AI in the future. Despite its unique approach to tabs and bookmarks, Arc has gained popularity among tech and design enthusiasts.
Arc, a Mac-only internet browser, has released Boosts 2.0, which allows users to customize any website with a few simple tools. The update includes a color picker, font replacement, and a "Zap" feature that lets users highlight and remove elements they don't want to see. Boosts can be shared with other Arc users, and the company plans to curate a gallery of its favorite custom options. While the feature may not be a key driver in choosing Arc over other browsers, it gives users more control over their browsing experience.
