Google didn't actually remove the stock browser from 4.2, they just removed it from the Nexus devices. Like Calendar and Music, it's still in AOSP: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Browser/+/jb-mr1-release https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/apps/Brow... It's still silly, though.

More specifically, it's just the nexus 4 (and 10?). Does this mean that HTML apps (phonegap etc) will use the chrome engine on the nexus 4?

  Browser's gone from the stock image on the Nexus 4, 7, and 10. android.webkit.WebView is still the same Android WebKit engine that Browser used (whether it's installed or not); Chrome brings along its own WebKit port.
