Baidu, the Chinese Internet and  Search giant has released a Chinese browser for Windows Phones. The app UI will be in Chinese and has advanced compression mode to reduce data traffic. The browser seems to have some interesting UI clues that native IE in Windows Phone can adapt. The home screen or new tab page is a list of favourite websites as tiles and with a swipe using pivot, you can access your bookmarks. You can remove or add tile to your homepage/new tab page. Also the browser has tab switching button at the bottom and the tab switching page now can accommodate 12 tabs instead of 6 in native Windows Phone browser.
