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 hate this so much but I want to call out the Google and Apple are just as bad. I used edge for a while and I constantly got popups on every Google owned website telling me how great Chrome is and that I should switch, it was even worse than what you get from Windows telling you to use Edge. And don’t even get me started about Safari on iPhones…

Run a debloat script for windows from christitustech. And if you want to start from fresh install w10/11 ltsb/ltsc and run the debloat script, that is the safest option, if you don’t want to swap to Linux.
I really don’t know why I bother reading the comments on any windows posts. It’s just full of Linux users trying to convert people.
It’s not going to happen. Most of us use our computers for leisure, not to have to find workarounds for most anything.
I don’t know why lemmy bothers having a specific instance for PC and Linux if the communities for everything from technology to mildly infuriating is just going to be people bitching about Windows.
Really feels like the quality of lemmy has gone down tbh, you can’t go anywhere without someone posting “Windows Bad.” The population grew but it was only the ones who cared about the API changes which just so happened to be the Linux community apparently.
I use Linux on everything that’s not my main desktop and it still pisses me off to see it just flooding everywhere.
This is literally a post of someone trying to find a workaround for a problem that only exists on windows… A question was asked and an appropriate answer given, if you refuse to accept the answer, thats on you, go read a different post
In Europe it isn’t. But I got it too. Even worse, my default browser was changed to Bing after an update.
European here. Which law is this breaking, exactly? Pretty sure advertising is legal
Even worse, my default browser was changed to Bing after an update.
Is this not literally quite almost what their first big antitrust case was all about (shipping their OS together with Internet Explorer, back then) that almost got them broken up by the state?
