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 thought ADB did remove the apps? You should be able to disable from within the OS, although I wouldn’t be surprised if this function was blocked.

      You can disable, or uninstall from user space, which is not the same as removing it entirely

        Yeah exactly. It’s still effectively uninstalling the app though and should free up space. But it’ll still come back if you create another user.

      I haven’t done it in a while. You can onstall the app via another adb command again. It’s another disabling than from within the OS

        Me neither lol I just start with a ROM that doesn’t have it to begin with. Hell, my phone has never even had Android System Webview - it came with Mulch instead.
