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.
