Just got a new tablet and using Google chrome for android when i noticed they have forgotten to add "history" button to it
After a little bit of googling about this I found someone posted a great solution
Just type:
chrome://history
in the bar
then save this as a favorite
works a treat - and because GC is in sync with all my other computers, "History" has appeared on my links bar on those too which is great

Prolly coz android is Googles own operating system and they insist on their browser being represented on it - same way you cant even operate an android device without having a google email account and logging into it
Of course you dont have to use it - in fact I dont like it on my mobile phone (prefer Opera Mobile) so I just deleted GC from my desktop so its not even visible and wouldn't know it even existed
Nice!!!
Very Nice Find indeed! - works great on my Nexus 7.

Probably because it's been 'pushed' to the /system/app folder as part of an official update. Without ROOT level permissions, you're stuck with it I'm afraid.
But as JethroUK suggests, there are many other great browsers available... Opera Mobile being one of them.
