“It’s a lot worse than any of the mainstream browsers I have seen,”

It's a lot worse than Chrome ?

The Xiaomi browser tracks your browsing. The Google browser in combination with the most of the sites in the internet track your browsing, your location, and a lot of other things.

Choosing the lesser evil is quite popular now days, and it's obvious which one it is.



> it's obvious which one it is.

Indeed: it's Firefox.


Firefox does a lot of phone home stuff too. (Not like chrome's built-in tracking)


That argument only makes sense if they're mutually exclusive. Opting out of Chrome in favor of Xiaomi browser doesn't magically remove all the google tracking throughout the internet (unless it has integrated adblocker, which it doesn't seem to have). So really, the choices are Google vs Google + Xiaomi.


Chrome steers you into logging into your Google account for improved tracking. Android Chrome already has this info via OS integration.


I'd much rather be tracked by Google than CPC

Safari?
