![]() Both come preloaded as system apps on MIUI devices so you can’t disable or uninstall them. While both the browsers support incognito mode, Chrome also offers Do Not Track feature. The feature is part of its mobile apps too while it lacks in Mi Browser. Google Chrome is known for translating web pages effectively. On the contrary, while you can sync the browsing activities of Mi browser to Mi Cloud, that data is accessible only on other MIUI devices. Whether you are on iOS or browsing through your PC, you can access the bookmarks created on your Android device or vice versa. Hate it or love it, synchronization of history and bookmarks is one of the ways that Chrome shine. The functionality comes quite handy for features exclusive to the desktop version only. You can use Chrome to fetch the desktop view of that website. Let’s say you don’t like the mobile version of a particular website. Same goes for Mi Browser that also lets you switch the search engine. Note: Multiple Search EnginesĮven though Chrome is Google’s product, it allows you to change the default search engine. The only difference is Chrome is gracious enough to show the amount of data it has saved over time. While Android comes with a native setting to reduce app data usage, both the apps offer a dedicated data saver mode applied automatically to all pages. However, you can turn off pop-ups in both of them. None of the two browsing apps comes with a native ability to block ads. Thankfully, Mi Browser supports changing download folder, whereas Chrome will let you change the download location to SD card. That’s where changing download location from default folder comes handy. Change Download LocationĬustomizing download location might not be an important factor for many, but I’m sure some users might like to keep things organized. On Chrome, one has to apply either of the modes individually to every page, unlike Mi that activates it by default throughout your browsing session. On the contrary, even though Chrome on Android supports reading and dark mode, the features in Mi Browser feel more natural, approachable, and customizable. You can set a theme, customize the font and even schedule reading mode. The easily accessible reading mode strips all the distractive elements and lets you focus only on the text. The option to activate that is available at two places - top and bottom bar. If you are a die-hard fan of dark mode, Mi Browser has got you covered. Chrome supports only the basic scrolling option and nothing fancy. ![]() The former activates automatically on long pages, while you have to enable the second one in browser settings. Mi Browser offers two additional scroll modes - quick scroll and scroll with volume buttons. It also supports the general gesture of closing tabs in tab switcher by swiping on them. While the default nature of this gesture is to go back or forward, you can change that to switch tabs in settings. Mi browser supports only one gesture - swipe right or left on the page. For instance, swipe left or right on the address bar to switch tabs, swipe down from the top to open the tab switcher are some of the gestures supported in Chrome. Though both browsers support gestures, Chrome smashes Mi Browser providing more of them. No doubt gestures make our life easy for you can perform specific functions without tapping. Sadly, you will have to live with a vertical layout in Chrome. Further, the Browser also provides easily accessible buttons for incognito mode and closing all tabs. Being considerate towards both of them, Mi Browser offers both layouts for tab switcher (can be changed in Settings > Advanced > Multi-window management). ![]() While some prefer vertical layouts others may fancy horizontal views. I like the bar for making navigation a bliss. While Mi Browser provides a convenient bar at the bottom that houses navigation controls, tab switcher, reading mode, and settings. The layout of the browsing window is different in both the apps. That will disable the annoying news feed. To leave that crazy world, you need to either tap the browser home button or open a website.įortunately, if the start page of Mi Browser doesn’t suit your liking, you can change it to a custom start page. There’s more below that.Īs soon as you scroll down towards the suggested links, the browser takes you to an entirely new section where you will find trending news from a wide range of subjects such as cricket, politics, health, etc. At the top, you will find the search bar followed by uneditable website shortcuts. Mi Browser’s start page houses many things. The tab switcher and the menu icons sit at the top-right corner. Start PageĬhrome offers a simple start page with a search bar, a few customizable shortcuts, and suggested articles. Let’s start with the user interface first. We will compare Mi and Chrome browser to find the difference between them. That’s what we are going to find out here. ![]()
