Samsung’s internet browser is one of the most popular browsers, followed by Google’s Chrome on mobile. Today’s Samsung updates its browser with a Copy text from image feature into their latest beta. Samsung Internet V18 bring major updates like text extraction from an image, foldable optimisation, and advanced tracker block. UI tweaks include the new URL Bar, toolbar, also the close tab button on Foldable.

 

Most people use the Samsung internet browser to block the tracking since Google’s primary business is advertisements, and Chrome is their weapon. Samsung introduced this feature with their browser with in-build Smart Anti-Tracking functionality. This version will automatically set to Https (rewrite HTTP links to HTTPS) by default and use CNAME Cloaking to improve the detection and to block from third-party.
