I think I must be on the Huawei browser. Any Googly stuff is interdit on this piece of chinky crap. So .. you can't download/install Chrome ? Don't think so. I can't get stuff on the App Store so assumed Chrome won't be accepted . TBH it's been OK with the Huawei browser & a few work arounds but bloody annoying I didn't know about the Huawei/Google spat before I bought it. I was going for the earlier version a mate has which accepted Google stuff but saw this was a later version with better camera & storage so bought it never thinking I'd have Googly problems. Shame 'cos it's otherwise a nice phone but somehow I feel cheated. Trouble is,other than using stuff, I've little interest in these gadgets so haven't assimilated enough knowledge to ask the right questions before buying. Every Android device I've had before this one accepted Google stuff so I just assumed they all would.

I genuinely thought about buying a Huawei as they are technologically sound but, like you, I had no idea about how much they had changed since Trumpy Trump's interventions a couple of years ago. It's a veritable minefield out there unless you are in possession of all the very latest info .. and I don't have the push to know the latest info that I once had.

I have a Huawei Mate 20 lite and it came loaded with Google and Chrome. Possibly one of the last ones that did before Trump's ban of Chinese products using US companies like Google in their products. Quote from the Verge : While the ban doesn’t explicitly call out specific companies, it’s been used to virtually shut down US operations with Chinese companies like Huawei, which can no longer sell products in the US or work with companies like Google or ARM for critical software and licenses. FFS beat me to it 😉
