At Samsung, we always strive to bring cutting-edge technology into our user’s hands. Today we are happy to announce that all Samsung Internet users globally on their Galaxy device can now download Coil add-on and activate streaming micropayments to support their favorite web monetized creators, developers, publishers, and platforms in real-time.

Coil joins our growing collection of curated add-ons built to work with the Samsung Internet Browser. Coil is providing an alternative way for creators, developers, publishers and platforms to monetize their content and offer premium experiences, like ad-free browsing and exclusive content. Coil is providing a single way to access premium content experiences and support their favorite creators and content providers on the web. The Coil Add-on is a win for consumers who want an easy way to pay for content and support creators without sacrificing their privacy or suffering through distracting ads and paywalls.

To use Coil, Samsung Internet users on Galaxy device should goto “add-ons” menu from Samsung Internet, search and install the Coil add-on. The add-on’s icon will then appear in the browser main menu. It must be activated by tapping the icon and logging into a Coil account. Once installed and activated, the Coil automatically detects web monetized sites and then anonymously streams micropayments to the creators’ digital wallets for every second Coil Members read, watch and listen.
