There is a new look for the Samsung Browser’s toolbar
The latest version of the browser app includes some code that will introduce a new blur effect for the browser’s toolbar. Android Authority was able to enable the new feature that delivers a blurred effect to the background of the toolbar.
You might shrug your shoulders, but a look at the images shared by Android Authority shows how the toolbar does look better with the new background blur. You’ll see it behind icons for the left arrow, right arrow, home, bookmarks (the star icon), Tabs, and the hamburger icon that opens a pop-up menu.
The app’s pop-up menu is home to its cool features
That pop-up menu is important to Samsung Browser users because that is where you’ll find the settings allowing you to enable Dark Mode, Ad Blockers, switch between the mobile and desktop versions of a website, and more.

The bookmark bar on Samsung Browser can be moved from the top to the bottom and it is when the bookmark bar is at the bottom that the blurred background is more noticeable.
How to install Samsung Browser on your Android device
The Samsung Browser adds some AI features
Samsung Browser has added some AI capabilities over the last year including Intelligent Summarization, which produces short, concise summaries of long-form articles within the browser. The browser’s translation engine has been improved resulting in more accurate translation for over 20 languages. The browser’s accent colors now do a better job of matching the main colors of your phone’s wallpaper and system theme.
One cool feature that has been around is the one that allows you to decide in advance if you want Samsung Browser to open a specific website when the app is opened. Samsung Browser will also open a “Picture-in-Picture” mode if you open your home screen or open another app while watching a video. Chrome’s “Picture-in-Picture” mode won’t work for some sites like YouTube.
