On May 3, Xiaomi announced that in its next browser update, it’d allow customers to stop their visited websites being sent to the Chinese company’s servers.
The browsers will include “an option in incognito mode ... to switch on/off the aggregated data collection, in an effort to further strengthen the control we grant users over sharing their own data with Xiaomi. The software updates will be submitted to Google Play for approval within today.”
—START— By 01:30, May 4, GMT+8 in Beijing, the software updates had been available for our browser products including, preloaded Mi Browser, Mi Browser Pro on Google Play, and Mint Browser on Google Play.
The latest versions are: Mi Browser/Mi Browser Pro (v12.1.4), and Mint Browser (v3.4.3).
These software updates include an option in incognito mode for all users of both browsers to switch on/off the aggregated data collection.
We thank you all for your attention, suggestions and dedication during the past few days to further improving the overall user experience of our products and services. —END—
