UC Browser is an excellent popular application from the Chinese developer UCWeb Inc. It is fast, comfortable and ergonomic. Depending on the data transfer speed, it compresses the traffic and adapts to the network, providing speed and quality.
Universal program
The most common UC Browser is for Android, but this does not mean that there are no variations for other operating systems: it is available for iPhone, Windows Mobile, and even just for Windows.
Android
First of all, it is worth considering, of course, the most common "Android" version. The Chinese browser has attracted the attention of users in that it actually allows you to quickly work with Internet pages using a smartphone. UC Browser compresses large amounts of data and sometimes, where standard Opera or Google Chrome browsers are forced to crash, it does its job perfectly.
In addition, UC Browser works with the built-in Flash Player, which allows it in most cases to perfectly play movies, TV shows and other streaming videos online.
The application easily adapts to the screen, which makes it available not only for smartphones running Android, but also tablets. The browser supports page caching, browsing history and bookmarks, it also has a built-in file manager whose task is to quickly view and save files, work with downloads, etc.
To protect vision at night, the user is given the opportunity to turn on the night theme.
IPhone
UC Browser specifically for iOS has all the "chips" that the original version of the application has. The main features of browsers are fully represented in it.
The interface is intuitive, and there are no problems with viewing pages, tabs, synchronization, downloading files to the device’s memory and cloud storage.
The originality of UC Browser is in the already mentioned night theme, which manifests itself not only in less bright light, but also in softer colors, selected for both the background and fonts. All this as a whole reduces eye strain, makes surfing on web pages more enjoyable, comfortable and less harmful.
Also, using the UC Browser, you can exchange files via Wi-Fi and save sites in the device’s memory for further offline viewing. A feature borrowed from PC browsers is the private viewing of pages, in which they do not appear in the browsing history.
Smartphones on Windows Mobile
UC Browser is also available for Windows Phone. In 2014, it was even called the best browser for smartphones. And all because of the free, affordable and quality.
It became especially popular among those who use not Wi-Fi, but the mobile Internet - then the built-in page compression function comes in handy, and the difference between UC and other options is strikingly visible.
The first release of this browser on Windows Mobile was called raw, but it still managed to attract attention, most likely due to the prevalence on Android. Subsequent updates only cemented success: both the appearance and the “filling” turned out to be pleasant and convenient. The interface is pleasing to the eye, the functionality provides everything stated in the description on the Windows Market. Similar to the “Android” version, UC Browser for Windows has retained all the features, options and settings.
Windows
The fact that the application for one of the mobile OS sooner or later appears on all the others is not uncommon. Mobile versions of computer programs or applications for sites are already a common thing, it is rather surprising when they are not available for some reason. But when the “Android” browser is initially expanded to a program on a PC, this is definitely a success.
Yes, there is a UC Browser for the computer. You can purchase it on the official website of the application. In general, he, the site, is very happy - on the main page you can choose the operating system for which you need to download UC (besides the ones listed, there is a version for the JAVA platform), or by phone model, depending on which the service itself selects the appropriate application.
Installing the UC Browser on a computer is very fast, in silent mode, after which the user is asked to install it as a default browser.
If GoogleChrome was previously on the PC, the UC Browser for the computer automatically imports all bookmarks, extensions, and other saved settings from it.
The only drawback: the browser is implemented in English, but due to distribution, most likely, Russification will appear on the market pretty quickly.
Interestingly, UC allows you to configure not only the usual things for such programs, such as opening the main page and the like, but also mouse gestures and hot keys.
In this program, you do not have to install an ad blocker - in this browser it is already built-in.
Other functional features of the mobile application, such as a night theme and, of course, accelerated page loading, are saved. Additional "tricks" - a few diverse topics, support for all GoogleChrome extensions, synchronization with the "Android" version, Windows Phone and iPhone.
