Baidu Browser 4.5.0.5

Discover a new fast and secure way of browsing the internet with Baidu
Aside from your phone and internet connection, the internet browser is also important when you need to search for important information fast. If you've grown tired with popular browsers and wish to try something new, Baidu browser may be your best alternative as it comes with all the regular features and more.

Browse the internet safely

The user-interface is actually easy-to-use, all the settings and icons you need are neatly hidden at the bottom of the screen, leaving plenty of room for displaying pages. The app comes with shortcuts to history and bookmarks, the section of pages saved for reading offline, 3 wallpapers for customization, a list of downloads and night-mode. The latter changes the brightness of the screen and shifts to a darker background, to make it easier to read text when you're in bed or the lighting is just not good.

Customize your homescreen

The developers of this app have paid close attention to customization tools. Aside from the option of setting a wallpaper, the homescreen comes with the weather forecast in your location, icons of the most visited websites and bookmarks, including those imported from other browsers.

Moreover, you can check out the section on news and music, pets, sports and any other topics that interest you. There are articles on various issues, that you can share or just save for reading offline, while navigation can be done with multiple tabs.

Incognito mode and many other features

Baidu comes with everything you need to browse the internet and more, including the incognito mode, in which the browser doesn't remember your history. You can also enable the scroll button and navigate easier, search within the site or display only text to save mobile data.

In addition you take screenshots or read QR codes. Under settings there are other tools for making browsing enjoyable. You can adjust font size for every page you visit, zoom pages to fit the screen, log into your social networking accounts and much more. In addition, Baidu makes it easy to instantly search for content, simply pull down the notification bar and start typing in your search query.
