In game mode if you navigate to library then to non-steam, if your list is empty it will prompt you to install Chrome. Maybe it was somewhere else, but yes, the prompt exists regardless.

Edit: Picure I got from the Interner to illustrate my comment:

Edit 2: More proof that it never happened and either I'm imagining things or making it up:

Did they install chrome in desktop mode and Steam picked it up and asked if they wanted a shortcut to it? From what I can tell you get Firefox by default in desktop mode?

I got this same prompt the first time I used my Steam Deck and I don't use Chrome at all, so no.
