It is already the #1 mobile browser in China, especially on those of Symbian and Java based featured phones. The development in Android and iOS community might not be something to take elation of, but that doesn’t mean it is a bad browser either. It is just that both the communities have so many options to choose from that browsers like UC Browser didn’t receive attention it deserves.
