Am I victim of the Mandela effect or did this happen some years ago too? I remember setting up chrome on win10 in my tech-normie days and getting a similar thing, maybe my memory is failing me.

They've been doing it for years, but in slightly different ways. Chances are you remember one of their numerous pathetic attempts to prevent switching from their spyware.

Honestly Edge might be better at this point but it really doesn't matter. Google won the browser war years ago and people have too much inertia to care
