Have you tried Vivaldi? I know it's been mentioned already, but they're run by the original Opera Team, and while not FOSS, seem reasonably non-shady. I haven't been able to find good Opera Screenshots online so I'm not sure how it compares, but they do have a tab bar on top, and are quite customisable in general.

Here are some Screenshots from the app on my phone:

Yep, like 5 minutes ago. Seems mostly good.
Here's some screenshots from Opera:

Yes, ironically my keyboard background is AI generated Firefox logo.

Yeah, Opera does look good, but I don't think Vivaldi's all that different. Why the Firefoxy keyboard, though? Just aesthetic preference?

Well, it doesn't look too bad when the background partially breaks. That happens when I switch between landscape and portrait mode - it either gets zoomed in, or fit in letterboxed like this:

This is basically the only image that looks OK in both states.
The global version of MIUI is full of such bugs. Previously I had the EEA version, but after both motherboard replacements I got the global version. For example, the lock screen wallpaper gets stretched top-to-bottom after reboot, but it disappears on locking. The home screen wallpaper was a pain to figure out. Native resolution gets slightly zoomed in after changing brightness, and any other resolution also gets stretched top-to-bottom, but that lasts. My workaround was thus to take native resolution rectangle, and fit the desired wallpaper into it, slightly smaller in center. It's fuzzy, but at least it's the correct aspect ratio.

Anyway, plenty of bugs in MIUI. I could try a custom ROM, but I already have everything set up, and I can mostly work around the bugs. MIUI is also one of the worst systems privacy-wise...

Also, I use Firefox on desktop... and in Termux because it's the only way I can do overnight file uploads as mobile browsers just crash after a few minutes of locked screen.

Huh, makes sense. I think those visual glitches would annoy the hell out of me, though.

I'm personally pretty basic with keyboards, I just use one that follows my system colour scheme.

I just decided to try updating GBoard. It seems this has been finally fixed after months. Which also probably means it had nothing to do with MIUI, just me running ancient, unaffected version of Gboard before.
