Uc browser for pc has more features

Ad blocker, tether wifi, image downloader, image compressor, page compressing

Uc browser compresses every page on their server sends it to the client, ie your browser where it is decompressed, so a page of 2mb on chrome and other browsers might be like 800kb or less
