Hi, Contro,
I'm from China,
do you know this browser for this purpose ?
This is Baidu Browser Global version, it is not maintained anymore.
BTW, the point is not which browser you should choose, but your network. As far as I know, you need a China VPN only if you want to access to stream movies/music (copyright/legal protection) in China. Well, the network speed maybe slow.
I don't recommend you to use some unknow software download on Chinese website (even if official website), they are usually bundled with ads, spyware, etc). And don't forget the gov's spy eyes.
http://www.baidu.com/ don't use this! its search result full with ads and useless infos (you will waste a lot of time or even be misled). You can use google directly or bings.
Actually I'm using Chrome and Firefox to browser both Chinese and foreign websites, without any problems.
I recommend you to visit
