While the UC Browser may be far from the top browser, the program is increasingly gaining traction among mobile and desktop users. Now, the UC Browser is a step closer to dominating the mobile and desktop browser market after developer UCweb finally released the app’s Universal Windows Platform version to Windows Store.

UCweb announced several months ago that it would launch UC Browser on the Windows 10 PCs. The goal is to rival existing browsers that dominate the segment such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. However, the browser won’t be available for mobile users. Also, it remains unclear when the developer plans to launch the mobile version of the app.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
