UC Browser releases update to its browser for Android users

UCWeb, maker of India's No.1 mobile browser with 49-per cent market share (as of August 2015 per StatCounter), today released its biggest update in the last one year to its mobile browser for Android users.

Unlike other mobile browsers in the market, UC Browser 10.7 for Android is the first of its kind to give its users complete freedom to personalise the way they discovered and accessed web content and redefined the role of a modern mobile browser as a content aggregator and distributor.

The new browser also comes with a new selection of specially designed background images for an enhanced and classy browsing experience.

UC Browser, the world's leading third-party mobile browser, now empowers all of its 100 million daily active users to discover and access content with a brand new customisable homepage offering various options – to make it easier and faster for users to discover and access content – through a manageable card system.

Users can rearrange the cards (in-app widgets) – such as Headlines, Top Sites, Jokes, Cricket Match, Cricket Topic, Top Free Apps, Opinion, Trending Video, Shopping, and more – according to their own preferences and pin their favorite one to the top. For instance, if they pinned the card of Headline on the top, they would be able to see and read the news headlines on the homepage immediately after opening the browser.

Commenting on the idea behind the major update, Kenny Ye, managing director, UCWeb India, said, ''UC Browser is the first mobile browser to introduce cloud computing. With the new launch, UC Browser once again stands ahead of the industry to further consolidate its focus for India, where almost half of total page views on mobile phones are accessed from UC Browser (as per StatCounter). This new update will transform the way nearly half of India mobile browsing traffic is consumed.''

With the help of its iconic cloud technology, UC Browser is able to achieve the industry-leading web page loading speed. Now, it had taken one more step towards its commitment to provide better and faster mobile experience to billions of users in the world.

The latest version of UC Browser for Android can be downloaded from Google Play.
