There are some third-party bloatware apps, but they can be completely removed. As far as I know, Chrome cannot be removed from any device (regardless of brand) without root access and neither can most other Google apps. Most (possibly all) MI apps can also be uninstalled, but I would be careful with system-critical apps. Regarding adverts: I haven't seen a single app-integrated advert so far, so I don't think there are any. Hope this was helpful, best regards.
