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

Why wouldn't it be legal? You are using their product and they put out a notification on it asking if you want to use one of their products. Why would that be illegal!?

Like I understand people not liking it, but illegal?

Creating a monopoly with a competitive advantage is illegal in Europe.

These posts are just getting insane at this point.

What is illegal? Asking you if you want to change your default search engine? That doesn't sound illegal to me so I wonder what law is causing it to be illegal.
