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

    I understand it was supposed to be rhetorical but it failed because it’s a very legitimate thing people should be able to have.

      It’s not a legitimate thing to have if you’re buying into someone else’s ecosystem. It’s a legitimate thing you should be able to have if you go the FOSS route.

        You should be able to have it regardless of what you buy.

        It’s not “legitimate” to suggest otherwise.

          I feel that you may not understand how these things work. Chrome and Safari are the basis upon which giant chunks of the OSes operate. If you pull that out, the entire thing collapses. They are required for the device to operate. Your idea only works if you go third party.
