To verify its actual presence, simply check the notifications directly on the app: if so, you will be directed to the Play Store or the Galaxy Store to download the new version.
Samsung first worked on the safety implementing functions to protect users from online threats from trackers” increasingly sophisticated in collecting personal information without the consent of the person monitored” explains Janghyun Yoon of Samsung. “That’s why we’ve improved Smart Anti-Tracking, to give users more control over their privacy so they can browse with confidence.“.
The first novelty concerns precisely it Smart Anti-Tracking, which already in v. 18 of Samsung Internet had been updated to become more secure and effective by preventing trackers from taking advantage of advanced redirection techniques. With Beta 19, artificial intelligence is used to “detect domains colluding with classified trackers by applying protection immediately” Likewise it was improved phishing detection so as to immediately notify users when they browse a malicious site thinking it is trustworthy.
By touching the padlock in the address bar, you can access the privacy information and a series of indications on the security level of navigation (site, blocked trackers, cookies to be deleted, location blocking, access to camera and microphone, number of ads blocked per day in the last 7 days).
Another aspect that Samsung worked on in the Beta of version 19 is that of the navigation experience, now more intuitive. Starting with the Add-on menu (add-ons) for more customization and that also works in Secret mode. Many will also appreciate the ability to sync bookmarks between Chrome on PC and Samsung Internet on smartphones through the appropriate Chrome extension (available on the Chrome Web Store).
Samsung Internet 19 will be released on the stable channel in the last quarter of the year.
