For some stupid reason I am getting 2 chrome app icons in app drawer. I have tried clearing data and uninstalling reinstalling both nova launcher and chrome ( updates ).
But still this problem presists. Moreover in Funtouch OS , there is only one chrome app. In app clone option also chrome is not visible.
When I try to hide it in Nova launcher settings ,both Chrome main app as well as Chrome 2nd app disappears.
And in settings->more settings->Applications there is no Chrome app to unistall.
Please help.

If I long press app info icon , nothing happens. If I touch/click it once it takes me to the app setting screen shown in above 1st screenshot.
Wow,that sux,maybe try this:
Go ahead & uninstall updates,then disable the Chrome app.
Afterwards,side-load Chrome from APK Mirror (Perfectly safe,the folks @ Android Police run/own the site):

Chrome from APK Mirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...me-browser-68-0-3440-70-android-apk-download/
Android Police: https://www.androidpolice.com/

IDK if this will help,but,it definitely won't hurt to try........

Running out of suggestions here,this sux,even if a minor bug at most,still would be nice to figure out the cause...
Perhaps there's a bug in that version of Chrome,I'm running version 67.0.3396.87

Have you tried side-loading the version I linked?
If so,anything different?

EDIT,I see that's the version you had installed,prior to removing the updates... :eek:
Still,have you tried side-loading,just to see what happens?
