For accessing the net through a mobile or smartphone, it is highly recommended that we install a third party application so as to save mobile data because any default browser that a smartphone comes with, uses huge amount of data and the speed of loading the contents is very low. And when it comes to accessing the net in the smartphone, nothing beats UC browser.
UC browser is a mobile based browser application that allows users to access the net through it as an alternative to the default browser. It is one of the most downloaded and used browser and is surely the best of its kind. I have been using UC browser ever since I had purchased my smartphone and I am highly pleased with its performance.
A few things that makes UC browser a must have for every smartphone user who loves to access the internet are-
1.) Highly compressed browsing – UC browser in itself is a highly economical way to surf the internet. The browser saves a majority of mobile data in its normal mode itself in comparison to the default browsers. However for users that insist on further saving, there is an option to reduce data usage further by enabling the speed mode which reduces the consumption of data by 90%. This is a great saving and no browser does it up to this extent.
2.) Whole lot of features – Besides being a great choice for browsing the net, it comes with a whole lot of features, which makes surfing the net a whole lot of fun. There is a Night Mode for surfing the net during the night. Besides, users can switch off images that enables them to browse at a far better speed. The users can also set the website preference according to their convenience. There is a desktop mode, mobile mode, iOS mode and Android mode in the available options.
3.) Inbuilt super-fast downloader – UC browser comes with an inbuilt downloader. The UC downloader is capable of pausing/resuming a download and is way faster than the normal downloaders. The downloads are saved to the UC folder and can be accessed anytime.
4.) Incognito browsing – For those of you who are wondering what an incognito browsing is, it is a feature that enables a user to surf the net without his details being tracked. This is a private browsing feature for certain security browsing. UC browser is probably the only browser after Google chrome to have this feature in a mobile platform. The Incognito browsing makes it a great deal to securely access the internet with ultimate privacy.
5.) Tiled homepage – The UC browser comes with a tiled homepage that displays the frequently accessed websites in the form of tiles. The tiles can be managed according to the users convenience and set according to his/her most visited pages. With this feature, all the favourite websites can be accessed by just a click.
6.) Pin lock and Picture lock – To further enhance the security and privacy of users, UC browser comes in with a lock feature in dual mode – Pin and Picture. A user can either set a pin to enter the browser or set a picture password. This comes very handy for many of us.
Recommendation – Frankly speaking, it is the best. In a time when mobile data packs are highly expensive, UC browser comes in as a very handy application for internet needs. Must have for all.
