NEW DELHI: Alibaba Mobile Business group’s UC Browser Wednesday launched a new version that allows a low data consumption and zero buffer in India, and reiterated its focus in the Indian market.
UC Browser 12.0, according to China-based Internet giant, has surpassed 130 million monthly active users in India, and has become sixth-most downloaded mobile app in the country.

“We have reached 59% of mobile browser share in 2016, and doing well globally with India becoming largest overseas market outside China,” Shallia Li, Head of UC Browser (International Business) at Alibaba Mobile Business Group said.

StatCounter, a web traffic analysis platform, however, ranked the Chinese company at top with 43.27% mobile browser market share in India as of January 2018, followed by Chrome (35.73%), Opera (10.46%), Samsung Internet (2.75%), Safari (2.69%) and Firefox (2.05%). UC Browser, according to Li, is the fastest-growing mobile browser in India during the last five years.

Chrome, Edge, and Firefox will support a new Web Authentication API that should give more protection against phishing and reduce the need for passwords.

The WC3 Web Authentication API specification, or WebAuthn, promises a simpler and safer way of signing up to a site. Rather than register with a username and password, the user registers a fingerprint, retina, or other biometric stored in a smartphone.
