Xiaomi Updates Its Browsers After Alleged Privacy Vulnerabilities

Smartphones May 4,2020 0

Xiaomi has released software updates for its web browsers, adding an option in incognito mode for all users to switch on/off the aggregated data collection.

The move follows recent reports about the way Xiaomi's web browsers - Mi Browser Pro and Mint Browser - collect user data, even if users used the incognito mode.

"Given our goal of providing world class secure services and products to all users, our next Mint Browser and Mi Browser software update includes an option in incognito mode for all users of both browsers 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," Xiaomi said.

The software updates are available for Xiaomi's 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).
