QQ Browser is a web browser developed by Tencent, a major Chinese tech company, and is primarily used in China. First released in 2007, it was initially designed for mobile devices but later expanded to desktop platforms as well. QQ Browser is built on the Blink rendering engine, similar to Google Chrome, and is known for its integration with Tencent's ecosystem, including features that connect with QQ, WeChat, and other Tencent services.
The browser includes features like a built-in ad blocker, a download manager, and cloud syncing for bookmarks and settings. It also offers an option for faster browsing by compressing web pages, similar to Opera's data-saving modes. While popular in China, QQ Browser has not gained significant traction outside of the region, with most users preferring browsers like Chrome, Safari, or Firefox. Nonetheless, it remains an important browser in Tencent's suite of internet services.
