If you're prepared to look after daily updates yourself, you could remove it. On an old Mac, I had to remove Google, it would wedge the system trying to update itself, and complain that it couldn't. Removing the browser wasn't enough, I had to delve into its google-updater that it'd installed, too. I don't know... multinational corporations that can't get their act together...
