Chromium is specified as a dependency of the lubuntu-desktop package, so uninstalling it will cause the lubuntu-desktop package to be uninstalled. However, lubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage; removing it will not actually uninstall the Lubuntu desktop environment.

The only problem you will have is that when you upgrade to the next version of Lubuntu, the lubuntu-desktop package will be reinstalled and with it Chromium.
