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

Those have to be old. Last I saw chromeOS had overtaken MacOS a few years ago due to Google’s huge push to give chromebooks to schools during the pandemic for remote learning. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56116573

Unless chromeOS just cratered.

It's hard to find numbers but I did find this:

According to current data from research firm Gartner, ChromeOS's market share dropped considerably from 2020 to 2022, with just 6.8% of the worldwide PC market in 2022

So seem like it has bombed since that article.

Your article suggest it was a boom due to lockdown. Maybe that's faded as kids go back to school.
