I too did this. Switched to a £99.99 Oppo A5 and followed instructions to remove chrome via adb. pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.chrome The only tricky part is explaining to people why you have no browser on your phone and can't follow any links they DM you. "To handle my addiction", while accurate, can sound overdramatic. However I have concluded that although I'm 90% satisfied with a cheap device it's a shame to have a poor camera, so may try to repeat this process on a better device. Ideally I want the experience to be crappy to reduce the addiction (eg a terrible screen for instance) but the camera to be top notch, battery to be long-lived, and device to be lightweight and pocketable. Don't believe that exists unfortunately.
