Samsung has begun to roll out Samsung Internet 13.0, which the company said will introduce features that will provide users with a more secure browsing experience.
One of the big new features is known as ‘Secret Mode’. This new mode allows users to automatically clear their browsing history once all secret mode tabs are closed. Users will see an icon to indicate when Secret Mode is on.
The update also warns users when they visit a potentially malicious website. “Samsung Internet 13.0 provides a new consent request user interface that displays a warning message if a website appears malicious and tries to trick users into allowing notifications.”
