“Chrome is no longer used as a WebView implementation in Q+. ![]() Here’s the statement from a Google engineer: ![]() If you have ever opened any webpage link on apps like Facebook or Instagram, you must have noticed that the page does not load in your default browser application. In old Android versions, Chrome App was used by WebView for rendering web pages in apps, but in Android 10, Google started using a new implementation called “Trichrome.” If Chrome was not upgrading at that time then it could be more serious, hence the alert.Īndroid WebWiew is a pre-installed system component responsible for displaying web pages inside apps. If Chrome was upgrading at the same time, it is harmless. TL DR Bitdefender is not uninstalling trichrome, rather it is warning that something else uninstalled trichrome whilst Bitdefender was trying to scan it. This message could mean that a virus is trying to hide itself by uninstalling parts when it detects a scan happening, but in this case is more likely harmless as Chrome is upgrading at the same time. Bitdefender sees this package disappear whilst it is still trying to scan it and therefore generates the report that the app was uninstalled during the scan triggered by an "on install" event (which includes upgrades). The Play Store removes a version of trichrome as part of the upgrade process. When Google Play Store upgrades chrome (which includes ) this triggers Bitdefender to do a scan, whilst scanning the upgrade process continues. Not an expert, but I think I can explain what is happening here a little more clearly:
