Kipling put it well: It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation, For fear they should succumb and go astray; So when you are requested to pay up or be molested, You will find it better policy to say: -- "We never pay any-one Dane-geld, No matter how trifling the cost; For the end of that game is oppression and shame, And the nation that pays it is lost!"

This is an ideal time to bring up the Mongols. Anyone in Eastern Europe that paid the Mongol tax still exists. The inverse can be said for those that didn't pay, or decided to fight. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destruction_under_the_Mongol_Em... I respect Kipling's quote - but history shows YMMV.

For what it's worth, the stock browser on the nexus 7 is chrome (unless you root and sideload the actual stock aosp browser or use a custom Rom with it).

The browser on a Nexus 7 when an app requests a webview is WebKit 534.30. Chrome 27.0.1452.90 on Android 4.2.2 is WebKit 537.36. Appears there are two 'stock' browsers, no rooting or sideloading necessary.

I'm aware WebViews are not part of Chome, since they're part of AOSP. However, WebView isn't very helpful though unless one is planning on making their own app. An end user cannot launch a WebView activity themselves past apps that take advantage of them. In short, it's an html/js rendering engine, not a browser.
