You might want to stay away from Xiaomi‘s browsers if you care about your privacy.

The Chinese company has been caught recording a concerning amount of user activity in its Mi Browser Pro and Mint Browser apps, Forbes reports. Researchers found the two apps — which have collectively amassed over 15 million downloads on Google Play — gathered immense amounts of data about any website a user visits, even in incognito mode.
