How to track price drops using Google Chrome
Secure the best deals with Chrome's built-in price tracker
You may have bookmarked or installed a price tracker extension on Google Chrome, for example, to keep tabs on price changes at Amazon. Maybe it's time to invest in an upgrade to your trusty Samsung phone. Or perhaps you want to pick up a powerhouse GPU like the RTX 4060 for your gaming computer. Paying for new tech can get spendy, and practicing patience will help you purchase these products when it's economically feasible.
Samsung Internet Beta 16 adds updated search in URL bar and blocks tracking pixels
Whether it's a good change or not is up to you
Did you know that there are tiny, invisible pixels hidden on a lot of websites, nefariously tracking your every movement across the web? Well there are. It's not really dangerous, just kind of rude and annoying. The newest version of Samsung's Android browser, one of the few tools that it shares with the rest of the Android world, detects and blocks this practice. So sayeth the changelog!
Samsung Internet 15 is out of beta, adding anti-tracking technology and a new search widget
Plus some big improvements to Secret mode

Most of us are probably using Chrome on Android — after all, it's pre-installed and syncs everything from active tabs and history to passwords and bookmarks between devices. However, the Play Store is filled with dozens of alternative browsers, and Samsung's Internet app is perhaps the best you can find. It bundles a ton of features not available in Chrome in its settings menu, many of which are surprisingly helpful. Samsung Internet 15 is now out of beta, and while you won't see any visual refreshes here, it does include several security enhancements.
Since it became available for non-Samsung phones, its Internet Browser app has become a popular alternative to Google Chrome. Compared to the stable version currently served by the Play Store (v7.4), there are several aesthetic differences in the v9.0, seemingly aligning better with the upcoming Samsung Experience 10 update.
Most of Samsung's Android apps are only available on its own devices. However, when the company uploaded a Beta version of the browser to the Play Store, it was marked as compatible with Nexus/Pixel devices too. Now the non-beta Samsung Browser is getting the same treatment.
