UC Browser returns to Google Play after tweaks to its policy-infringing settings
UC Browser was unceremoniously removed from Google Play last week after it was discovered that a setting within the app violated Google policies. Now the popular web browser is back with an updated version.
The company behind the app is pleased to return its flagship title to the Play store, but also voices its delight that during UC Browser's brief absence, the cut-down UC Browser Mini proved fantastically popular.

While Google has not publicly elaborated on the details of UC Browser's removal from the store, it did say: "Our policies are designed to provide a safe and positive experience for users. That's why we remove apps from Google Play that violate those policies."
In a statement given to Gadgets 360, Young Li from Alibaba Mobile Business Group said:
During the brief absence of UC Browser on Play Store, we continued to meticulously check our technical settings while also witnessing an uninterrupted passion of our users for the product, who looked upon the alternative version, UC Browser Mini, and made it to the top of [the] Free Apps category on the Play Store.
If you've been waiting for the return of UC Browser, you can download it from Google Play now.
