I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don’t even use chrome, i’ve switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

    I see your point but the deal between Google and Mozilla doesn’t prevent people from changing default search engines or even nags them to change back. Firefox even has multiple search engines integrated by default. The only thing that it does is make it so Google will be the preset. So, really, I don’t see how the user is being harmed.

      Couldnt you say the same thing about this situation, choice is given to you as two buttons with your approval.

      The difference is, one asked for your approval at an annoying time, the other picked one for you by default, and you have to change it to something else after.

        One is not respecting the user who already made a deliberate decision to change from the default. To be fair, if this appears once it’s not a big deal. But if they keep nagging, then it’s disrespecting their users and their choices, to get an advantage over the competition.
