To see how a download is getting on, there's 'Download Manager' on the main menu:ĭownloads are stored in the folder of your choice and are easy to find later, either manually or by the likes of Groove Music or Films & TV (under Windows 10 Mobile).Ībove right, I show that any page with embedded media is fair game, here grabbing a video download from a Microsoft 'Channel9' tutorial. Once a download is started, it's independent of what you do in the foreground browser.

In the example above, I'm grabbing a music video from YouTube for offline watching - the highest resolution supported here is 720p, but this is fine for mobile use and doesn't use crazy amounts of on-device storage. The extension installs in seconds and then you see a new download icon at the top of the navigation menu - tap this when a page has media that's up for grabs and the various stream saving options are shown, just take your pick! Having said that, there's still (after a month of availability) only one extension available, a first party 'Savior' (as in 'Helper' module, which is fetched via the Windows Store:Īs the screenshots here show, the 'Savior' module is explicitly for identifying media embedded in the page and kicking off background downloading, typically of YouTube videos, though many other sites and media types are also supported: Making Coc Coc Browser that bit more interesting. It seems that Edge for W10M is destined not to see the same extension support as its Desktop equivalent.

The navigation menu does look rather cool on AMOLED screens though - curiously the tab browser background is a neutral grey, but this is a minor point in the grand scheme of things.
The clean design extends to a clear settings menu pane, with quite a bit that's useful, including setting your default search engine and your theme for the UI elements (going dark doesn't affect the usually-white web pages, though, so it's of limited use in saving power on AMOLED screens): I should note at this point that Coc Coc Browser is available for Windows Phone 8.1 as well as Windows 10 Mobile, but the newer features like 'Extensions' (of which more below) are only on the latter platform. However, it's still noteworthy for its fledgling Extension support - with a first party video downloader ('Savior') the headline advantage.Ĭoc Coc Browser (the name means 'knock knock' in Vietnamese, apparently, and the characters look different in the original on the Store but many web browsers can't cope with them, so I've simplified things here) presents a clean look with URL bar at the top and all functions on a right-hand-side navigation pop-out menu, as shown below right: Coc Coc Browser (I'm omitting the Vietnamese character embellishments) is clean and modern but isn't as fast as Edge, confirming my suspicions.
