Change This Browser Setting to Stop Xiaomi from Spying On Your Incognito Activities

Xiaomi has begun rolling out an update to its Mi Browser/Mi Browser Pro (v12.1.4) and Mint Browser (v3.4.3) after privacy concerns were raised over its practice of transmitting web browsing histories and device metadata to the company servers. The new privacy setting now allows Mi Browser users to disable aggregated data collection feature while in Incognito Mode. Xiaomi claims there were “several inaccuracies and misinterpretations about our process for browser data collection and storage,” and that that does not collect any data without permission from the user.
