FWIW, not my experience.
[root@f29bk ~]# rpm -q google-chrome-stable ssmtp postfix
google-chrome-stable-75.0.3770.100-1.x86_64
ssmtp-2.64-22.fc30.x86_64
postfix-3.4.4-3.fc30.x86_64
[root@f29bk ~]# dnf erase postfix
Maybe my point wasn't clear enough. You have two providers of
"sendmail", so removing one won't do anything. I pointed out that I
don't have ssmtp, so when I tried to remove postfix, which is the last
provider, then chrome will be removed as well. Although, it's probably
the lsb package that is the actual dependency in between chrome and
"sendmail".
