360 Secure Browser (Chinese: 360安全浏览器) is a web browser developed by the Qihoo company of Beijing, China. It was first released in September 2008.
The browser by default renders the webpage using the WebKit-based engine adapted for Google Chrome — Blink, and when running in compatibility mode it renders webpage using the Trident engine found in Internet Explorer.
In early 2014 Qihoo released a global version of its web browser.
In January 2011, Qihoo claimed that it was the second most popular web browser in China (after Internet Explorer), with 172 million monthly active users, 44.1% of Internet users in China. Independent sources claim that the true figure is between 2-7%. In November 2014 StatCounter reported that the Qihoo browser was the 5th most popular browser in the United States. Its main competitors in China are the Sogou High-Speed Browser (Chinese: 搜狗高速浏览器) by Sogou.com, CM Browser (Chinese: 猎豹安全浏览器) by Cheetah Mobile, QQ Browser (Chinese: QQ浏览器) by Tencent, Baidu Browser (Chinese: 百度浏览器) by Baidu.com and Maxthon.
As of 2017[update], the latest versions of 360 Secure Browser do not offer distinguishable user-agent string. It spoofs itself either as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer, making it difficult for developers to target or identify.
