Should Chrome stay in CROMI or just be a play store app?

I hate Chrome on mobile. It is next to useless and with it being available on the play store I no longer want to offer it at all in CROMI going forward.

Give me a good reason to keep supporting it otherwise it goes!

I use chrome. It's quite bad to be honest but i like the UI and it's "trusted". Browsing in general is quite poor on stock

Let's say it wasn't installed by the ROM by default - you'd still be able to install it from the google play store or from a titanium backup though right? What does it offer over the stock browser which is significantly faster than chrome on all web pages I have seen, offers full screen options, java, flash and bookmark synching with PC chrome. I really can't see why anyone prefers mobile chrome.

Stock browser hangs a lot when you're stock and unrooted. I've just got used to chrome now i guess

Firefox runs the way I want. I've had flickering issues on chrome on multiple devices.

Yeah, chrome for tablets has always been below par. Firefox ftw!

I've tried other browsers but I just keep coming back to Chrome. Its just a personal preference.

Mobile Chrome sucks a lot. Stock is way better when you're rooted.
I thinks there's no need to put it in your rom.

If people want to use it, they'll know how to download it. It'll cut down on ROM size anyway.

How do you do that?

Off with Chromes head !!!

I mean well yeh the stock browser works great as long as your not on the stock rom.

(I'm on 4.2 and atm don't use your ROM), BUT why do you want to remove Chrome? It's just one apk of your ROM and doesn't slow down the tablet, ppl who don't want it should just not use it (put in Aroma Installer so that they just don't have it if they don't want it )

But I prefer Chrome over Stock, as Stock also with all this tweaks etc. just didn't have such a nice user surface and also felt smoother (had bit longer to load)

Chrome is now 20mb and is available on the market. That is the main reason for wanting to remove it. However I have been using it exclusively for the last few days and am quite enjoying it. It is nowhere as smooth as stock (can't agree with you there) but where it does well is on sites with java script. The one failing of the stock browser is it is seriously buggy with js.

I did lots of testing on this a few days ago, all tests were done in the same part in my house so it was fair, and the test was loading xda forum with all topics, boat, stock, angel and firefox all failed after 90 seconds they were still loading and i got bored of waiting lol, dolphin (the latest with flash took on average 45 seconds but chrome killed it by loading the forum in around 25 seconds, i did t his test lots of times and as controlled as possible, i shut all other apps and the free ram was always close to 450mb so i suggest chrome for most things but if you need flash then dolphin is the browser for you, or do it like me and have both and use the best for the task
