While Google mandated their apps, AFAIK Chrome wasn't one of them. My Note 1 has plenty of google garbage, but no chrome.

  If you really mean a Note 1, it came out before Google started that requirement in 2012. If you mean a Note 10, those came out after Google announced they would stop the requirement in 2018 in reaction to the EU antitrust case (which specifically called out the enforced Chrome bundling as one of the things being punished)

    I really did mean Note 1, and I did not know of these details. Thanks for the clarification.

      Are you still using that Note 1? I had one for a long time too, but at some point gave up on it. Curious if it's still viable today - Custom ROM or anything?
