I am appalled by the requirement Canon's Camera App makes of having Google Chrome installed.
This prevents the user from NOT using the Chrome browser device-wide.
Somebody wrote something along the lines of "just install Chrome and don't use it, you can just continue to use your other web browser" but that's not how Google's version of Android works. As long as Chrome is not deactivated, there are a number of situations where the phone will open links using Chrome instead of the default web browser.
TL;DR users should be 100% free of choosing which web browser they want to have on their device. Canon should remove all technical barriers and let them have this freedom. Especially because most web browsers are chromium-based nowadays and therefore do NOT lack any security functionality Chrome has.

Safari [Which I believe uses WebKit in the background], which leads to even lazier programming.
