Microsoft is reportedly using its Bing Wallpaper app to encourage Windows 11 users to set Bing as their default search engine and browser. Users have noted that opting for these changes resulted in the automatic addition of the Bing extension to their Google Chrome browsers. The Bing Wallpaper app includes pre-checked options to set Bing as the homepage and default search engine, which users may want to uncheck during installation. Allegations suggest that accepting Microsoft's recommended settings could lead to the installation of Bing functionalities in Google Chrome. The issue has been highlighted by a user in the Insider Beta Channel, and Microsoft has been contacted for clarification.
