You can't delete system apps on Android, but you can disable the ones that won't break your phone if they're disabled. I currently have Chrome, the Play Store (and, at least to an extent, Google Play Services), YouTube, and YouTube Music all disabled.
You can, pretty easily. Enable developer mode and use adb. Doesn't need root. (At least I didn't for YouTube; not sure about the rest)
Hm. I'll see if this works for YouTube, YouTube Music, and Chrome. They're only collecting dust right now since I switched to ReVanced and Firefox. Thanks! (I still need the Play Store since Google Play System Updates are run through it.)
Well if you root your phone you can definetly delete any app.
This is true, but I'm not at the point where I feel the need to do that. There are things I like about Google's Android and things I dislike about it. I just try to mitigate what I dislike about it as much as possible.
If Google stopped allowing 3rd party app installs, I'd definitely switch, though.
