Xiaomi browser privacy

As it became known, Xiaomi with its default browser collected data without informing the users of its smartphones.

The most serious issue is that Xiaomi does not allow users to make any changes to the settings of this application.
For the answer collection of information from Mi Browser the path we follow is: Settings→Apps→Settings System Apps→Mi Browser→Privacy & →Authorization. When you turn off the latter, you get a message with the option countdown Recall.

There are also other changes such as Disable ads etc.
In any case, I noticed that the settings of the application are reset to the factory, for example, Disable ads is "off".

The mobile is not root, it is a purchase from a store owned by the Greek chain Infoquest.

It would be ideal since some of you are Xiaomi owners to verify my writing and ask the company a question why this is being done. That is, if the whole it simply deletes the data they have collected up to that moment and continues collecting them!

As a solution I suggest replacing this application by setting another browser as the default ( Applications→Manage applications→on the 3 dots on the top left→Defaults →Browser and select one of the installed)
