Ah, yes! I see it. Thanks. Very useful :-)

Let's try. Yes, I can disable Chrome, but I want to use it. Let's try
another... facebook!

com.facebook.appmamanger  can be stopped, but not disabled. The button
is greyed.

Ah, "facebook". This one can be disabled. First it asks if I want to
replace with factory version. I say yes. Then the button changes to
"enable". So I suppose it is disabled. Fantastic!

I still see two "messenger" apps that I do not recognize. Ah, one is for
phone, so SMS. The other I do not know.

:-))
