UC Browser 8.0
The UC Browser 8.0 Beta was released this week. It’s a pretty big update, especially in look and feel. Here’s how UC describes the new version:”
Beautiful looks – Beauty is not the patent of iPhone or Android phones, Java phone could also make it. The classical black gives you a cool tech style.
More efficient – In UC 8.0 Beta for Java.We optimized the interface layout and menus, you can find the useful features easily.
Magical action function – When you operate on Windows via PC, it’s convenient to choose what you want in the right mouse botton menu. The right mouse button in different places, then the popup menus are different. In the same philosophy, UC Browser knows what you want when you stop at a place and gives the most convenient options to choose. Otherwise, U can press shortcut ‘1’ to start this funtion more conveniently. When you move to different elements,the actions re different.
Not only beautiful, but also intelligent – Do you still think excellent user experience is just belong to high-end phones? Ucweb said no. We think A good Browser is what can provide good browsing to all users.”
The new interface is a shameless copy of Opera Mini 5.0 and later but other than that I like the new version. All the sites I tried; including Twitter, Dabr, Facebook and Gmail loaded without error, looked good and worked well.

Thanks for the advice Dennis .
Erm , what are the rcommended settings fot the Innuendo or Incognito ?
I tried using this browser , but I cannot even get the links to Google or Bing search results to work .
I don’t have either of those phones but on my Rambler the only things I change are:
Font Size: small
Page Segmentation: no segmentation
Image Quality: high
Zoom View: unchecked
User Agent: WEB UA
Google search using the browser search box works for me
Thank you Dennis! Just a link…LOL 🙂 I am beating my brains thinking it was internal… LOL
Thank You Dennis on this…
Another question???
Is there away to configure UC Browser 8.0 to log into the desktop site of Facebook???
There used to be a prompt to allow mobile or desktop at the bottom of the logon screen and now its gone! I would like to go on there in desktop mode with this browser to make some adjustments to my photo albums… Its limited on the mobile side and more menus on the desktop side… I want to privatize some of my albums and it wont let me just limit it to the select few in mobile mode…
The inline editor wont let me choose close friends either… I have to go into their Privacy menu to adjust default settings… Theres really no way to fine tune privacy settings in mobile mode… And that Facebook App is slow as molasses and is nothing compared to this browsers speed and ability to blow up pics to full screen…
Oh speaking of which if the pic is too big it wont load it at all! It only shows well as a thumbnail image…Dont know if its another bug I found in here…anyways…
http://facebook.com/home.php will load the full version of Facebook in the UC Browser

Got a problem with this browser… I am now using this as my main browser esp on Facebook… I also recommend this over my famed Opera Mini because it is about 2-3times faster loading pages esp on Facebook!!! 🙂 Also whenever you click the pictures it blows it up to fullscreen whereas Opera Mini is smaller and gives you the option to d/l it as we have discussed earlier…
It will click into mobile YouTube to watch videos like the Opera and the screen is almost fullscreen unlike Opera Mini which puts it in the upper left hand corner…
The problem is: Getting it to download apps from HERE! It kicks in the internal browser like Opera Mini does but then it freezes!!! Usually when I used to d/l with Opera Mini on here it would kick in the internal browser then show the 2 prompts to proceed and not trusted file thingy and I would proceed and the d/l would commence…
Now it goes to the internal browser with the black screen and then I wait for those prompts which never come… Sigh
I see that on my Rambler with UC and with Opera Mini 5 and later. Only Opera Mini 4.4 and earlier hand off properly to the native browser. I just use the built in browser for all app downloads. You are going to end up there anyway. This mobile version of site should work well in the built in browser. If it doesn’t let me know.
