RedMi Note 11. Just received it for Christmas and boy was I crying the first time I booted it. 1 Gb of bloatware must most importantly: impossible to uninstall chrome.

That is ok if any other browser can co-exist beside it… Boy was I wrong again. Some links from apps don’t even care about my default browser, they just open chrome cause hell yeah.

This is sickening me, Google is beginning to really disgust me. Someday I’ll root this mf to get rid of ALL the bloatware

      Don’t disable anything labeled as “Google”

      You’re not my mom!
      (Seriously though, when I get a new phone I basically search for “google” in Universal Android Debloater and uninstall everything that pops up and isn’t in the “unsafe” category.)

      You can disable Chrome, but not uninstall it, because Chrome is what backs the modern WebViews used in all kinds of apps.

      You can safely uninstall Chrome over adb shell. There’s a specific webview package that takes care of webview (com.google.android.webview), not Chrome.

      Weird, I don’t have Chrome on my phone and it works just fine.
