Xiaomi recently made an update to their MIUI 14 Global and MIUI 14 Indian versions, boasting the addition of a new feature: three pre-installed browsers - Google Chrome, Mi Browser, and Opera Browser. However, it has come to light that Opera Browser is not uninstallable on Indian MIUI 14 devices, though it can be removed on MIUI Global. Additionally, there is no sign of Opera Browser on the latest ROMs for EEA, RU, TW, ID, and TR.
This move by Xiaomi raises questions regarding their previous claim of reduced bloatware in MIUI 14, as the addition of Opera Browser can be seen as contradictory. Furthermore, Xiaomi's partnership with Opera Browser has caused concern amongst users, particularly in India, where the Mi Browser has been banned by the government for data stealing.
It seems that Xiaomi has now partnered with Opera Browser to steal data from users, all under the guise of providing an in-built VPN. However, even while using its VPN, Opera still has the ability to steal user data, raising concerns about privacy and security.
In conclusion, while Xiaomi's latest MIUI 14 update may seem exciting with its new feature of three pre-installed browsers, the addition of Opera Browser as a bloatware raises questions about the company's commitment to reducing bloatware and prioritizing user privacy and security. As a user, it is important to be aware of these issues and take necessary precautions to protect our data.
