Chinese browser for iPad

UC Browser is an alternative web browser for your iPhone, specifically designed for the Chinese market.

As far as alternative iOS browsers go, UC Browser is pretty attractive. It's cuter than Safari, supports tabbed browsing, and has some neat menus. However, UC Browser is in Chinese, with no language choice available. There is a version in English available here.

The biggest issue with UC Browser is that pages are optimized by the developer's servers, in a similar way to Opera Mini/Mobile. However, many pages do not render very well when compared to Safari, and many sites seem not to recognize UC Browser as a mobile app, so you end up with a mangled version of the desktop website you were looking for. Another issue is that UC Browser suffers from censorship, meaning some sites are simply not available in it (Gmail is prominent example).

If you're looking for an alternative to Safari on iOS, Opera Mini or Skyfire are much better and more user friendly options if you live outside China.

UC Browser is an app that is really only suitable for usage within China, as its web page rendering and limitations mean it compares badly to Safari and others.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
