I get that too, and ignore it. I have a current version of Chrome installed, but my production browser has been Firefox for a long time.

The question is how the Play Store knows you have Chrome if it ins't what you're using. It would require Chrome to place a cookie the Play Store could read to say Chrome existed on your machine. Given the current concerns about privacy, and the notions a lot of folks seem to have about cookies being bad, and install stuff to block or remove them, I don't see that occurring.

(Come to think ot it, if you run Firefox, there is probably a custom CSS UserStyle that can prevent that query from displaying.)
