UCBrowserFacebookNotifications650Third-party mobile Web browser UC Browser, from UCWeb, announced that it teamed up with Facebook to provide real-time notifications from the social network directly to users, without requiring them to have the Facebook application open.

Quartz pointed out that this initiative marks the first time Facebook notifications will be available to users from a source other than the social network’s app or mobile site.

The other interesting angle to this announcement is the China factor: While Facebook is still blocked in that country, UCWeb is owned by Chinese Internet giant Alibaba.
