Customarily talking, most Android OEMs normally offer anyplace between 2-3 years of significant operating system refreshes. This fails to measure up to Apple's iPhones where the organization keeps supporting gadgets that were sent off as far back as quite a while back, however that is beginning to change.

More OEMs are currently offering longer update backing, and one of those organizations is Xiaomi. This is as indicated by a declaration on X by Xiaomi's correspondences chief, Daniel Desjarlais, who uncovered that beginning with the Xiaomi 13T series, the organization will offer four years of significant operating system refreshes, trailed by five years of safety patches.

Sadly for Xiaomi clients, it seems to be following the update to MIUI 14, clients are finding that adware called Mintnav has been introduced on their gadgets and has basically captured the Chrome program.

Before the update, the default landing page that heaps on Chrome is Google with the Google Find feed beneath it. Presently after the update, clients have found that the default page has been barraged with advertisements, supported applications, and different sorts of inconsequential substance.

It was at first felt that this was malware, however Xiaomi has since affirmed that this was done deliberately their ally as a feature of an organization with Mintnav. Fortunately, this can be turned around. Clients can go to the settings in the Chrome application and under Cutting edge, select Landing page and select the default landing page rather than Mintnav.

This ought to return things to how it was previously, and clients can likewise erase the custom Mintnav URL on the off chance that they like. This change influences Xiaomi's phones, yet in addition different phones that are important for Xiaomi's image including Redmi and POCO.
