Per the topic, is it safe to uninstall UC Browser from Android phones? There are other browsers around, so I am not keen to using UC browser. But then again, I am afraid that uninstalling this browser would cause the phone to go haywire.

Thoughts?

Should be safe to be uninstall. I use chrome or firefox app to browse in phone.

Nah, it's fine to uninstall it.

better keep it. very useful when you're stuck at a place with slow internet.
IMO, it gives the fastest loading of website if you're on GPRS network.

How do i go about deleting the app? Tried pressing the app, but it does not allow me to uninstall it

if u can't uninstall it, it's the "stock" app come with the phone factory release.
u can just force stop and disable it, let it be there but wont be use.

Or you can always root the phone

Only problem is that it will occupy space
