Even when it had no default browser, it should only prompt for Chrome when a user has Chrome installed. I do not.

In addition, it should remember the setting forever and not keep prompting every couple months.

This is not a good faith attempt to let a user open a link in their browser of choice, it’s a push to get users to download and use Chrome. I can only assume users with Chrome as their default browser don’t get this needless slide-in.

Can the app tell if Chrome is installed?
