UC Browser

Browse the web on your desktop PC, on your iPad, on your Android smartphone, or another mobile device. That’s what you can do with UCWeb, a fast, user friendly, and feature-rich web browser from UCWeb, a Chinese mobile Internet company that is also known as UC Mobile.

UC Browser is available for multiple platforms: Windows, Windows Phone, Android, iPhone and iPad, Java, Symbian, Windows Mobile, and Blackberry.

An animated wizard will help you install UC Browser on your Windows PC. It will let you pick where to install the browser, choose if you want to set it as your default browser, and select if you want to join a user experience improvement plan.

By default, UC Browser will import all bookmarks from your default web browser. Also by default, it will place a shortcut on the desktop, pin a shortcut to the taskbar, and pin a shortcut in the Start Menu. So when you’re done installing it, expect to see all your bookmarks on its interface and expect to see UC Browser shortcuts everywhere.

Place your mouse over the UC Browser desktop shortcut and a prompt featuring the following text will show up: “UC Browser is a fast, secure browser using dual rending engine (Trident and WebKit), optimized in speed and security, to provide superb browsing.”

UC Browser has a user friendly interface that is reminiscent of Firefox’s interface. Said interface can be extensively customized: hide away the search bar, extension bar, and bookmarks bar; get a theme; pick one of two styles for the New Tab page.

UC Browser has all the functionality you would expect from a modern browser: tabbed browsing; Incognito browsing; fast browsing speeds; download manager and Thunder kit to boost download speeds; bookmarks; history; extensions; Cloud Sync so you can sync your bookmarks across multiple platforms; hotkeys and mouse gestures; block pop-ups and filter ads; multiple search engines are supported; tools for developers and programmers.

UC Browser is free software.

There’s tons to like about UC Browser. It is available for lots of platforms, it is easy to use, it is fast, it has lots of features to offer, it is free.
