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

Eww I'm not touching any browsers based on Chromium

Well that leaves Firefox (and it’s forks, too many to list) and safari to choose from.

Chrome, brave, edge, opera, vivaldi and a few more I can’t remember are based on chromium

Edit: realized my mistake about opera and vivaldi

Opera sold its soul some years ago. It is also chromium based.

I keep hearing this but can’t find any basis for this

Yeah, since 2013. It's in the wikipedia entry

On 28 May 2013, a beta release of Opera 15 was made available,[49] the first version based on the Chromium project.[50][51] Many distinctive Opera features of the previous versions were dropped, and Opera Mail was separated into a standalone application derived from Opera 12.[52]

I looked it up and corrected my post. Had to change Vivaldi also as it is opera fork.

I honestly thought you were talking about the “opera is owned by china” fud
