I had to install Google Chrome on my (Mac) work laptop recently in order for the expo/react native debugger to work. Every time I open it I get a nag prompt to use it as the default (instead of Firefox)
I tried editing the raw config files with some values stack overflow suggested would disable it but it hasn't worked. Not a huge deal because I don't need to open it too often, but still annoying that there isn't a "don't ask me again" button
That's how chrome got their market share from firefox and internet explore shoving prompts across all google based services: search, gmail maps etc. Using strong dominance of other domain to gain foothold on another domain and later dominate over it. Sound familiar?
That's pretty interesting, because I don't ever get that popup when I open Chrome on Linux (usually for DRM reasons).
Edit: crap, I tried to see what happens when I do set Chrome as a default and now that I've switched the default back to Firefox, I get the popup on startup too. At least Firefox has a setting to disable the check, now I need to figure out how to make Chrome shut up again.
