First off, Thanks for the find
UI is amazing.
Speed is pretty fast for me(Loaded Androidcentral.com incase you guys were wondering)
The Settings or menu gives you a lot of Choices and i mean alot. i havn't really messed with most of them just the "browse mode" and went to full screen mode.
Pinch to Zoom is pretty good , since i use a Mytouch 3g.
switching between tabs is smooth.
oh yeah i went to the social networking tab and theres everything but facebook haha dont flip out.

so far this is an amazing browser.
But i think I'll still stick with Opera

By volume, no doubt you are right. There are millions more Chinese/Eastern Hemisphere mobile users than Western Hemisphere users, so that would make sense. It's not that we (I) "discovered" this browser, just that it's rather unknown in the West and I felt like it was a good item to share.

Of course, we could all use some insight from anyone who has been using UC for awhile and might have some good tips or tricks

How to system share items???

How do you system share items or email items out of UC????

I compared all these strange permissions with MIUI browser and didn't find them.

Can someone tell me why it need to take pictures or to read contacts data, do I miss a special feature ???

That caused by a feature called "UC乐园"(UC Paradise),an SNS service.
It may get some info such as ur location(LBS service),contacts ONLY when u log in the UC Paradise..

Here's an official FAQ of UC Paradise.(sorry I'm not going to translate it):

How does UC Browser protect my privacy?

Considering data security, UC servers do not record any browsing operation, like personal data, E-mail data and so on.

To convenient your browsing, UC servers automatically save the website cookies which can identify user’s login state. So that user can login easily. We use encryption method to save the cookies in UC’s special servers, reaching a high level of security.

PS: To provide a better service, we will save cookies of most websites.

I am definitely not installing this web browser !
Why does it need to connect/disconnect file systems, make application always run, modify global system settings, prevent from sleeping, take pictures, read phone status and identity, read contact data, etc.
People, be careful.

People, be careful.

the "Connect/Disconnect file system" is for our built-in file manager, throught which you can manage your files in your android phones.

the "take pictures, read phone status and identity, read contact data" are all for the function which is called "UC乐园"（a mobile SNS for UC Browser users ONLY in China), the English version is just translated all the elements from the Chinese install file and turn off these function in the file instead of deleting them. So it will show you the notice of such requirements while installation. But in fact, it will never do such things in English version.

Any other doubts?

@rocky, there is no such way to email a whole page in UC Browser now. the save & share function can only share links of the page, not even with title. and you can share the link through SMS. In Chinese version, it can be shared to twitter-like websites and SMS.
