    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.

    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.
