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

By setting defaults, its the reason why Microsoft was accused for being anti conpetitive by having a default browser installed https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp

And why Windows N version exists

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10_editions (look under N/KN in regional variations)

Its why google also for european devices offer a default search engine selection as setting a default is considered anti competiive in EU
