I never understood why on the iPhone need to install any additional browser. There are also Safari, and why, as they say, the fuss.
But today, I still could not stand up and download an alternative option - UC Browser. Really very interesting and tempting it was told in the description of the many functions of this product. In addition, a free app, so I do not lose anything, but only gain invaluable experience of using third-party browser, about which and explain below.
UC Browser interface looks interesting and unusual (compared to Safari). The home page displays icons of your most visited sites. Such a page interface can be seen in many desktop browsers, it has become a familiar and comfortable, so it's nice that he has migrated to mobile devices. Also, once the main page you can easily go into a convenient news feed.
By the way, if you do not like the background image, it can be easily changed by opening the settings section "Change the subject."
Pages load quickly, and therefore, surf UC Browser is perfect. However, at first it seemed to me that the pages look weird, but, as it turned out, it is because that is included mode "Quick View", which helps to save traffic or open a page, even at low speed Internet. It is included by default, but you can disable it in the settings page and will look familiar.
In addition to "fast mode" can also install two more:
- "Night", which reduces the brightness of the screen, so that when reading in the dark, your eyes are less strained;
- "Incognito": In this mode, no data is stored about the pages you have visited.
Generally UC Browser - thing is surprisingly functional. I was surprised how many useful it is possible to build in a mobile browser. For example, the function of "Watch later", which allows you to download videos from YouTube and VKontakte or watch later offline. Using this feature, you first of all, you can save your time, but rather to use it rationally. I stumbled across an interesting video content during the workday - preserved and quietly watched the evening. Download Naturally, you can not only video, but also the files of any other format (music, pictures, documents). download manager automatically determines the types of files and distributes them into folders. By the way, you can throw all the files on a computer using WiFi-card sharing function. Simple, fast and does not need any wires and tricky programs (only install an extension for Google Chrome). You can throw the same way and the files on the iPhone (iTunes excellent alternative).
The next opportunity, which was very useful for me - it sync tabs and bookmarks between devices. For example, between your iPhone and your computer. Sometimes by opening any website on a mobile device, I understand that still would like to see it on the big screen, but too lazy to enter a link or search for it. Synchronization in this case - a convenient and elegant solution.
Interesting links you can share with your friends: UC Browser supports convenient Sharing to Facebook / Twitter / Evernote, you can even send a link via sms with a tap.
As you can see, opportunities for UC Browser is more than enough. This is not surprising, as the developers - the company UCWeb Inc - a very long time working on your product, honing it down to the last detail. They are the leading suppliers of software and applications to access the Internet on mobile devices. The same UC Browser is available in more than 3,000 different models of mobile phones from more than 200 manufacturers and is compatible with major operating systems: Symbian, Android, IOS, Windows Mobile, Win CE, Java, MTK and Blackberry. And all this has been done is not in vain: for 8 years of UC Browser has been downloaded over 1.5 billion times worldwide, and the number of pages viewed by users more than 160 billion monthly.
I understand that the numbers you are unlikely to impress. After all, it's just dry numbers. Just I recommend to download free UC Browser and personally evaluate its merits. There is a version for the iPad, which has the same functionality as the iPhone-version, and the same is distributed free of charge.
