Did they install chrome in desktop mode and Steam picked it up and asked if they wanted a shortcut to it? From what I can tell you get Firefox by default in desktop mode?
Nope... It's literally just a placeholder to allow people in game mode to install chrome and access the Internet without having to switch to desktop mode.
Until they make a better way to add non-Steam shortcuts in game mode.
It literally explains it in the prompt.
Then that's like a totally avoidable thing. There is no Google Chrome there unless you want it to have it
Yes, exactly.
I got this same prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck and I don't use Chrome at all, so no.
Hm, well that's a bummer 😯 Thanks for clarifying.
