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.

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.
