Is Samsung working on its own mobile browser?

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/25/samsung-mobile-browser-rumor/)

Samsung's Android customers get their pick of a [pretty broad](http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/23/opera-mini-7-5-android-smart-page-social-news-updates/) selection of smartphone web browsers and soon, at least according to _ETNews_, Samsung is looking to follow up on its own [Android UI additions](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-shootout-atandt-vs-sprint/) with its own fully-fledged mobile browser. The company is reportedly seeking out [WebKit](http://www.engadget.com/tag/webkit/) engineers to work on the project at Samsung's Silicon Valley R&D center -- where work is already underway on the [Chrome mobile](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/27/google-chrome-for-android/) rival. The open-source WebKit engine already underpins not only Google's own browser, but also its pre-ICS Android web browser -- and Apple's Safari. We've got in touch with Samsung who politely told us that it "doesn't comment on rumor or speculation."
