Samsung is reportedly working on a unified Web browser which will work across all of its internet-enabled devices – TVS, Tablets and mobiles. Dubbed the Samsung Browser, it would be a faster, easier and more stable browser which all Samsung devices can use to connect to the internet.
The Internet app which comes preloaded with most Samsung device is said to be rebranded as the Samsung Browser. It automatically adapts content according to the device it is being used upon. It also has extra features such as Reader mode, easy Web clipping with S Pen, Reader Mode, Offline Web Saving and Web video casting.
The first version of the browser would be based on WebKit rendering engine and supports HTML5 video instead of Adobe Flash player support. Other versions of the browser would be based on Blink rendering which is supported by Google and used by latest Opera versions.
Samsung is also said to be working on a new generation rendering engine called ‘Servo’ in collaboration with Mozilla; the rendering engine would be based on a new programming language called Rust. The Samsung Browser is expected to debut this year.
