Internet explorer is fast and smooth , though it does not support downloading at moment , it will be supported in upcoming update for all windows phone 8-> 8.1, it will support both download and upload. By the time you can use uc browser.

No. Every 3rd party "browser" is just a UI skin on IE.

I saw UC Browser being heavily pushed yesterday. Gave it a try. It has some interesting features but got rid of it for three show-stopping reasons

1) It does not render pages very well (compared to IE) from my favourite sites;

2) It does not seem to have a simple "size to fit" feature and manually resizing seems random and jumpy;

3) It does not let me login in to some sites.

The one plus it seems to have over IE is that it does not stall when doing a Google search (some say this is a Google conspiracy against IE).

Artistic merit: 8/10
Technical merit: 3/10

I have the #3 and on some websites embed YouTube videos doesn't work, says update flash or whatever. But I still use UC Browser. The major plus, it has Back/Forward buttons. For the listed two problems I use IE)
