Is this even legal? (lemmy.world)

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

Perfectly legal... it's just advertising. If they switch you without your consent then yes it's illegal.

I hate this so much but I want to call out the Google and Apple are just as bad. I used edge for a while and I constantly got popups on every Google owned website telling me how great Chrome is and that I should switch, it was even worse than what you get from Windows telling you to use Edge. And don't even get me started about Safari on iPhones....
