Xiaomi changes Chrome homepage to advertising page after Miui 14 upgrade
Xiaomi changes the homepage to Mintnav.com for users after the upgrade to Miui 14 in the Google Chrome browser. That’s a site with advertisements. The change is said to come from a deal between Xiaomi and Mintnav.
Changing the home page can be done in the browser settings, writes Mi Fans Home. Changing the browser homepage is a practice common with malware and adware. Mintnav is a site focused on making money through advertisements.
It is unclear whether this also happens to Xiaomi users in the Benelux. It appears to appear on many different models from the manufacturer, including Redmi and Poco models in addition to Xiaomi-branded models. Although it is now back in the spotlight, some users noticed this change months ago.
