UC Browser does not come pre-installed as the default browser on Android or iOS, so it still lags behind Chrome (29.8 percent), Android Browser (18.9 percent), and Safari (21.9 percent). Not just a one-off milestone, UC Browser has held the number four spot overall since October.

Its growth is led by China and India, where it holds the number one spots in both countries. It boasts 41.2 percent market share in India, up nine percent from a year earlier. That’s almost twice the market share of second-place Chrome.
