User reviews

UC Browser is praised for its fast download speeds, simple interface, and useful built-in features like ad blocking and video players. However, users frequently complain about intrusive ads, UI changes hiding important functions, sluggish scrolling, video playback issues, and problems with bookmarks. The app also consumes significant RAM and battery, struggles with keyboard and link navigation bugs, and forces an uncustomizable home screen. While some unique features are appreciated, persistent bugs and forced advertisements negatively impact the overall user experience.

Pros

Very fast download speeds compared to other browsers.
Has a simple and modern user interface that is comfortable to use.
Contains a built-in ad and malware blocker that works well for some users.
Unique features such as built-in scrollbar and pop-out video player.
Supports torrent downloads, a rare feature among browsers.

Cons

Excessive and intrusive ads, including video ads that disrupt background music and frequent pop-ups.
Recent updates have caused UI regressions such as hiding important buttons and removing features like full-page zoom.
Slow and laggy scrolling experience on some devices.
Issues with the built-in video player causing black screens and problems when fullscreening videos.
Problems with importing bookmarks and losing them after updates.
High RAM and battery usage due to bloatware and background processes.
Inability to fully quit or exit the app causing it to run in background constantly.
Bugs like keyboard disappearing while typing and server errors when following links.
Forced use of their home screen without option to customize to services like Google.

SAVE PAGE button moved to TOOLS! In Version = 14.0.8.1340 This is simply bad UI implementation. For current users it renders muscle memory useless. Because what was a simple 2 tap operation. Has now been lengthened for no reason at all. New users are less likely to even know the button exists since it's basically hidden away! Instead of fixing stuff that actually needs some attention like for example... DOWNLOADS -> FILES The whole FILES page needs to be fixed!

Used this browser for many years but the ads gonna make me uninstall. The ads themselves are fine its just when you go to close them if you don't hit the right spot on the 'x' it automatically opens a new tab in reference to the ad. I always have my tabs maxed at 20 so when this happens one of my tabs gets deleted and replaced with the ad with no way(that i know of)to get my tab back. 👉(Update: The update worked for that issue.)👈 I DID NOT WRITE THIS UPDATE
