About: UCWEB Mobile Browser:170 Million Downloads

UCWEB or UC browser is a ultra smart mobile internet software that you download to replace your native browser. similar to opera mini. However, it has a lot less visibility than opera mini as it has been developed by a Chinese company primarily for the home market and then translated into an english version.   Thanks to our hard worker translater like Akushah, jbpseudo,  mannuforall, rohan, Satya, Giris, yakisara, and many others. Ucweb Technology is based in Guangzhou City in Guangdong and has 210 employees of which 140 are developers, pretty big firepower!

Why is it interesting?

As of August 2009, has achieved worldwide downloads more than 170 million times, 80 million users, nearly 40 million active users of the results. Usage has grown by 400% every year for three years. That puts it up there with some of the biggest mobile apps out there including ebuddy and Mig33 for example. However, the company behind the service claim that they only offer the English version to “study user-habits” and are really focused on what they see as the major opportunity – the Chinese market.

China is the largest mobile market in the world and is also home to a massive proportion of handset manufacturing and network engineering and this capacity is now beginning to result in some great mobile software development. UCweb is one of the first of many innovations we can expect to see coming out of there. 


The UCweb browser has loads of passionate fans outside of China. There is a lively community of developers who build english versions of the latest updates to the Chinese service before they are released by UCweb and build patches and so on to add additional functionality.

Finally, UCweb is part of a much bigger battle going on at the moment in the mobile browser space. Opera Mini, Skyfire and new players like Bolt as well as Firefox mobile are all fighting for market share. It may well be that UCweb will come from nowhere to grab a big place in the mobile internet and prove that the major web players and Silicon Valley aren’t necessarily going to dominate on the mobile platform.

The last official English version in 6.3 and the latest translated English version is 7.0
