    In game mode if you navigate to library then to non-steam, if your list is empty it will prompt you to install Chrome. Maybe it was somewhere else, but yes, the prompt exists regardless.

    Edit: Picure I got from the Interner to illustrate my comment:

    Edit 2: More proof that it never happened and either I’m imagining things or making it up:

      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.

        I got this same prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck and I don’t use Chrome at all, so no.

      Never had any prompt for google services in 2+ years of owning a sd, i don’t know why you’re so affirmative about something you don’t actually seem to be sure about

        Because I also got this prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck, but I wasn’t sure where I got it.

          You’ll get it once when you access Non-Steam library for thw first time. If you refuse it you’ll never see it again

            That’s what I thought, I installed CachyOS on my Legion Go last week and I’d swear it appeared there too.
