Any concerns about it being Russian? I used to run Dolphin Browser, but I stopped -- there were some privacy concerns.

None whatsoever.

I really don't see what difference it makes whether my browsing habits end up in a data silo in Russia [or even China], rather than the USA.

In fact, given the choice, and even if I was up to no good, I'd PREFER the Russians or Chinese to be slurping my data, rather than any of the 'five eyes' nations. I think most three letter agency types are more interested in what their own citizens are up to, rather than worrying about what some nobody in a foreign country is doing.
