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

    Dumb question but how would you get your browser of choice if they didn’t include one from the jump?

      At the time, you’d get a disk from a store or order it from a magazine or whatever. I don’t really know what the solution would be now since those aren’t things though. I guess get one from a friend or another device?

        If they didn’t bundle safari on a mac or firefox on linux, there are terminal commands to install firefox and chrome on both.

        There is a command for windows via their built in package manager apparently, but I can’t confirm that.

          Yea, winget is the build in windows package manager.

          I started using that pretty frequently and a lot of software is on it, though it does lack some features like version pinning.

          There is a website to explore the available packages at winget.run, which makes it a bit easier to use.
