Baidu Browser
A browser with a video downloading feature
DU Browser, formerly Baidu Browser, is a fast and fun way to browse the web for Android.
The Baidu Browser offers a lot of fun features that you just don’t get with regular browsers, like floating video playback, smart news feed, meme tools and so much more.
One of the best features we’ve found of DU browser is the internal MP3 player; this allows you to download MP3s, make playlists and play your music while you browse without taking up extra processing power or running other apps in the background.
You’ll also get some of the fastest browsing around with the included T5 kernel that speeds up browsing up to 20% on bad connections and older devices.
Some users have complained that copying and pasting text from the clipboard can be hit and miss, something to think about.
Pros
- Download MP3s Right in Your Browser Tired of having half a dozen apps on your phone to download videos and music to your phone? Baidu browser includes an internal MP3 player and song downloader!
- Floating Video Playback and Increased Browsing Speed Baidu’s proprietary T5 Kernel boosts browsing and processing speeds, as well as allowing you to “pop out” your videos and watch them while you scroll down the page.
- Incognito Browsing Mode and Enhanced Privacy Features Block ads right from inside the app, enjoy enhanced incognito browsing mode and other privacy features without add-ons and plug-ins.
Cons
- Known Copy/Paste Errors Sometimes copying and pasting in the Baidu Browser doesn’t work correctly.
- Needs T5 Kernel to Work Many enhanced features of the browser require you to run Baidu’s T5 Kernel; without it floating video and performance boosts don’t work right.
