UC Mode (uc=True) is for Chrome only, although it can also work on some of the other Chromium browsers (eg. Brave, Opera) by setting the binary_location.

Firefox, Safari, and Edge won't work with UC Mode (you set the browser to firefox).

Here's an example of performing a Google Search with UC Mode on Chrome:

from seleniumbase import SB

with SB(test=True, uc=True) as sb:
    sb.open("https://google.com/ncr")
    sb.type('[title="Search"]', "SeleniumBase GitHub page\n")
    sb.click('[href*="github.com/seleniumbase/"]')
    sb.save_screenshot_to_logs()  # ./latest_logs/
    print(sb.get_page_title())

There's also CDP Mode when you need more advanced features than regular UC Mode.
