Comment on Youtuber PewDiePie is going all in on deGoogling and the Steam Deck is one of the surprising tools that's helping him to 'escape'

  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.

    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.

        Then that’s like a totally avoidable thing. There is no Google Chrome there unless you want it to have it

      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
