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

      Yeah, Graphene does a really good job at making their ROM as Google-less as possible. It’s a real shame there are no widely supported forks for other devices, because LineageOS seems to be falling behind when it comes to replacing the Google parts with alternatives.

      Weird side effect: if you install Google Chrome on your device through the Play Store, it’ll download a second copy of TriChrome that you later will have to delete manually if you uninstall Chrome. You probably don’t need or want to install Chrome, but it’s just one of those Google Android Things.
