About

UCWeb Inc. is a leading provider of mobile internet software and services, best known for UC Browser — one of the world's most widely used mobile browsers. Founded in 2004 in Guangzhou, China by He Xiaopeng and Liang Jie, UCWeb pioneered fast, data-efficient browsing for mobile devices, particularly in emerging markets. The company grew to serve hundreds of millions of users globally, becoming the most popular mobile browser in India, Indonesia, and Mali, and the second most popular in China. In 2014, Alibaba Group completed a full acquisition of UCWeb and integrated it into the Alibaba Mobile Business Group. Under Alibaba, UCWeb expanded beyond browsing to offer a suite of mobile internet services including cloud storage (Super Drive with 6TB), AI-powered search, media playback, and file management tools. UCWeb's products serve users across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, iPad, and HarmonyOS platforms.
