So... Google Play Store has taken down UC Browser after it was accused of sending personal data of its Indian users to a server in China. While you may never have used UC Browser, there are apparently 100 million users in India who do.

Redditors, some shocked by the development due to their on-going "anatomical research", expressed what modicum of doubt they had on their minds.

This user who was immensely satisfied that UC Browser had been stopped. Hurray for you!

Vibrate!?

You’re not alone

While some cheered the mysterious decision taken by Google, others said that UC Browser optimised data really well. Especially when mobile data costs were so expensive.

Google = Google Play Store. Google Play Store > UC Browser.

He’s a straight shooter!
