+1 for Firefox.

Some think that a local evil dude is less evil than a foreign evil dude. As an European, I would be less concerned if my data was pwned by Xiaomi rather than Microsoft; should my government ask for my data, they're more likely to be served by Microsoft than Xiaomi.

Firefox for mobile is a good choice, but Tor Browser is even better (like on desktop), because it has built-in fingerprinting prevention.

Some people think that, although like you i'm less afraid of chinese secret police than french/US secret police, but what would be even better is when no "evil dude" is involved at all :)

He seems to be a MS fan. He replaced everything Google with MS

Unfortunately I have tried to use other applications to setup my company email and install another browser on my computer rahter than Chrome or Edge to have consistent browser experience. Unfortunately it wasn't possible, maybe I should have mentioned it :)

or Bromite.
