Apparently Google Chrome is a necessity for the phone OS too properly work - eviltoast

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

      Even if Chrome is not disabled, I have Firefox set as the default browser, and everything opens in it.

        I do think there are some web views that use chrome if it’s enabled, but I’m not 100% on that
