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.

You found the wrong Kevin , and I keep my profile private .
Commie ? I dare say not , I was in The U.S. Army for eight years .
By the way Dennis I am using UC Browser 8.0 exclusively now for browsing and Facebook… It does render the pages like Opera Mini 6.5 but much faster and images go to full screen on this machine… For the first time since coming here a couple of yrs ago when I had my i776… I deleted Opera Mini today from my mobile…
There was another quirk and esp on this site with Opera Mini… Anytime you went to a box like the ones below my post to fill in your name and email… This Browser enters the info in there and when you press enter or ok its fine and clicks away so you have a cursor free to move about…
Now whenever I did that with Opera Mini and clicked ok after entering text it refresh the page because I can see the bar pop up and refresh it… And sometimes after that it messes me up or doesnt save the msg… It does this on Facebook or any site with info you must enter in a box then press ok and the screen refreshes… And sometimes those refreshes can take seconds before refreshing a whole screen… Never understood why it did that to begin with by entering text in a box! Messes up data on the screen sometimes…
UC Browser doesnt do that on any site… You click after entering ok and the cursor pops up without refreshing like Opera does…

When you are typing using the UC Browsers Full screen editor do you have to hold the shift key down while pressing a letter to make it capital in your full screen editor???
Poke codes ? Naw , I havn’t messed around with those since my Commodore 64 days . 😀
