Question About Removal of Chrome Browser from LG L34C Fuel

Greetings to all!

I am quite computer literate, but a BRAND NEWBIE when it comes to smart phone technology, so please forgive me for asking what may appear to be a slew of "yeah - DUH" questions.

I got my very first smart phone today! I know the Android O/S was developed by Google and so I am concerned about removing the Chrome browser from it for fear of screwing the whole works up. I do not like Chrome at all anymore after I discovered just how insecure of a browser it is and that Google is taking no definitive steps to correct the issue (providing the option to disable WebRTC - although this is not supposed to be an issue impacting Android YET).

To this end, I plan to replace Chrome with Firefox as the default browser and since I have no intention of using Chrome EVER, removing it from the rather limited on board memory available - IF I am not going to create greater problems by doing so!

So enlighten me, oh knowledgeable ones! May I remove Chrome safely and replace it with Firefox OR will I be better off just allowing it to get dusty in some remote corner of on board memory?

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central.

You may not be able to uninstall it but you can disable it....the option is in Settings, Apps, All, then scroll to Chrome and open it. Please excuse me if how to do that was obvious to you.
