While Google Chrome is currently leading the race for the best mobile browser worldwide, it is surprisingly being dethroned in some parts of Asia including China and Indonesia. UC Browser is a web browser developed by UCWeb which is a subsidiary of Alibaba Group, the same people behind Asia’s leading online retail markets like AliExpress and Lazada. Much like other browsers, UC Browser is loaded with equally impressive features including a powerful Ad-blocker, 3D Touch App shortcut, speed and night modes, and more. UC Browser managed to established a great reputation among various browsers and it is also the 8th most downloaded mobile app of the decade.

How does the UC Browser app work?

Interestingly, using the UC Browser is not complicated at all. It generally works the same way with other browsers. The app welcomes you with a very simple and user-friendly interface that you can easily navigate and explore. Simply download the UC browser app either from the Google Play Store or the Apple app store to get started. One of the notable strengths of UC Browser compare to other browsers is how it compresses the data. UC browser uses proxy servers to compress web pages before sending them to users. Thus, requires fewer data and it allows us to load pages relatively faster.

Just like Chrome, UC Browser also supports simultaneous downloads and it also comes with a download manager allowing you to pause and resume downloads anytime you want. The browser also features a powerful ad blocker tool that automatically blocks any ad contents which makes your browsing experience faster and more efficient. To top it all, UC Browser allows you to watch movies and TV series. The menu categorizes videos in different tastes: humor, clips, girls, anime, trailers, or even war films. There is also a Facebook Mode that speeds up Facebook regardless of your network condition.
