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

I stopped using outlook entirely for this behaviour. Outlook would embed a bing search in your long press menu on android.

What kind of long press menu? I have it installed but don't have any such menu.

Highlight some text in your browser or an app

If you press the 3dots does it show in a list?

I don't have whatever other apps are showing in that list so it was showing up first

This is all I have.

Microsoft rolling out different misfeatures to different users would be some next-level gaslighting. I would not put that past them.

Oh God, that was so annoying! Once I realized which app had added that, I uninstalled it with alacrity. I have to use Outlook for my job, but that doesn't mean I'll use the mobile version ever again. And the web-based one actually works fine on mobile devices.

Yeah absolute pisstake. I've moved to Proton Mail and forward any left to transfer emails and use the outlook lite app to manage it, it's actually not that bad.
