This browser is quite fast and its latest version can load up to 20 tabs at once. The version also includes support for hardware acceleration of page loading for devices with either 2GB RAM or more.

UC Browser’s first timers

When a user opens UCWeb for the first time, they can import bookmarks from other browsers, though passwords and browsing histories can’t be imported. Then you are advised to set your Speed Dial page which serves as the first thing you see each time you open a new tab. The Speed Dial helps you add your favorite URLs for a quick and single-tap access. The browsers also have a plain villa RSS reader that lets you aggregate contents from your preferred mobile news sources.

UC Browser is a company that makes mobile browsers and its browsers show in the browser’s minimalist interface and browser’s slick. A top URL bar serves as a double search bar, while navigation bar at the bottom of the browser’s interface includes all the shortcuts; page toggling, general settings menu, back/forward loading and an advanced settings menu to maximizing the screen.

Limited Customizing on UC Browser

This site supports pinch-zoom and dynamic wrapping; users can either increase or decrease their font size with this gesture. However, there aren’t enough swiping gestures for touchscreen mobile use, only horizontal swiping to toggle back and forth is available on this website.

General Settings: For a familiar list of mobile browser features such as accessing a list of downloaded items or sharing web gems with family and friends. There is also a “find in page” feature, which is rarely seen in other mobile browsers; this feature is quite helpful.

Advanced Settings: Here you can tweak how your pages are rendered, enable rotation and page acceleration, adjust brightness levels or flip your user agent to desktop or mobile. Users can also restore tabs if the browser crashes. You can also remember passwords or change the number of pages that cache.

UC Browser for PCs

The UCWeb new PC browser for windows is similar to the google Chrome interface. Almost everything including the bookmarks, menus, URL bar and tabs look like Chrome. The notable difference is the blue squirrel in a corner of the browser’s interface. It soon became vivid that the browser for PC was not built from the scratch. It was built following the designs of Chromium, the source frame work that Google launched a few years ago. However, it is wrong to think the PC’s version of the browser is a clone. UC Browser is the highest selling product in the Asia market.

This version of the UCWeb has made it easy to synchronize bookmarks and pages between devices. To send a page from a computer to a mobile device, click the QR-code button on the browser’s URL bar and scan it with the mobile browser’s inbuilt scanner. There is also the Android management interface. This enables users to download, install and manage applications from within the PC browser. Short messages and files can also be sent between devices.

Other features includes a button that turns your PC into a personal WiFi hotspot for your cell phone. Though this can only be done when you have the right instruments – pre-fetching pages, cloud acceleration and infinite scrolling. Also, there is an official WeChat extension. This works as a pop out window; this means that the messaging app can be on the desktop of Windows’ users. However, the app is still limited to bare chat functions but some out of the browser’s 355 million active users will be enticed.

UCWeb for Windows is still technically in open beta testing, so additional developments are expected. It is aimed mainly at the Chinese market for now, with no declaration yet on an English version.
