You may be able to run all of your desired apps even if you switch over to the Firefox browser on your Android phone.

The reason I discarded Chrome from my Android was that it progressively irritated me. It got to the point that, when I went to type in a search term, an applet appeared to notify me that I could be using voice search instead.

Google has grown to a massive force. I should stop using Gmail. Doing so would be my personal protest to Google's wealth and entrenchment in the web and devices. The anti-trust trial which is just starting takes aim at Google's actions in getting OEMs to set Chrome as the default search engine. Just today, I changed the setting on my Android to make Duck Duck Go my default search engine.

Best wishes for success with your effort to tamp down Google on your device.
