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.

Secondhand booksellers have noticed a curious pattern over the past few months. Large orders are coming in for old books that often share no obvious subject, author, or genre, leaving sellers wondering who wants them and why.

According to The Guardian, booksellers in the U.K. and Ireland have received bulk orders covering everything from agricultural texts to racing biographies. Some buyers reportedly use opaque aliases, send orders to the same freight warehouses, and pay full price without negotiating bulk discounts. Similar activity has also surfaced in the U.S., Australia, and Europe.

Claude is getting ambitious with watermarking, and I can smell the problems from a mile away
Claude’s text watermark could flag AI involvement even when it only helped with translation or editing
Claude website open on laptop

Anthropic wants to make AI-generated text easier to identify, and on paper, I have very little reason to complain. The company is experimenting with an invisible watermark that can be baked directly into text generated by Claude.

It sounds like a sensible idea. AI-generated text is everywhere, and knowing where something came from could certainly help. Moreover, Anthropic isn't simply hiding a marker somewhere inside a document. Its approach changes how Claude selects words to create a statistical pattern that can later be detected.

I switched from Windows to Mac after 25 years, and it’s the trackpad that converted me.
Well, that rhymes.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

I’ve been using Windows laptops for almost 25 years. In that time, I never once seriously thought of buying a MacBook. In fact, I can honestly say I had never used one at all until I bought my MacBook Air M5 six months ago. Never borrowed one for a weekend, spent an afternoon at an Apple Store, or even played with one at a friend's house. Macs, to me, were just expensive computers for those who edited videos, made logos, or liked drinking expensive coffee.

My change came completely by accident.
