Have you tried clicking "Don't switch"?

[–] ripcord@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, it continues to prompt occasionally afterwards.

They have a bunch of these things that get prompted periodically even if you said no initially (like things on install/upgrade). SOME of them only come back once. But Microsoft dynamically chooses what to push on people so that can change at any time.

Have you tried switching your default search engine to Microsoft Bing in Chrome?

Do you just need an adblock extension on chrome? Should be an easy fix. Or the O&O shutup program may work as well, have used that in the past effectively.

I use Chrome on Windows and have never seen this, or at least, not for years so hard to know where the setting is to disable exactly.

Lol @ the responses saying to switch OS. Such extreme views.
