Safari is my default browser on my imac, ipad and iphone. Every time I check gmail (using safari) and often when I google something (using safari), a menu appears that suggests I switch to chrome. How do I stop this from happening?

That an advertising and tracking service would want you to use more of their advertising and tracking tools is… shocking.
Use a different mail provider, use Chrome, or switch to accessing your mail from the mail app and not via Safari.
Or convince the advertising and tracking service to change their ways, of course.
The mail app on imac is terrible. It’s really difficult to read emails on that. Looks better on ipad, but sometimes its better to use a browser, for example when searching for an email (ipad Mail is bad for search)
It never seems to go away for me. I’m just wondering if there’s a way to block it
I access my gmail every day. So its really annoying Google keeps asking ;-D I was just hoping there was a setting or some way I could stop it.
I don't think you can. It seems to be an annoying behavior Google services introduced any time you use Gmail webmail or Google search from a browser other than Chrome. The popup does go away at least for a time once you dismiss it, or say "No Thanks" or however it's worded.

+1 Good find. I suspect cookies are somehow the answer. The only time I've seen that dialog is when I first install a new browser to test. Once I dismiss it I never see it again.

I was just saying it seems to be related to cookies. Whether they are cookies one accepts, deletes or blocks I can't say.

Cookies are expunged after a week, if the site has not been accessed.
We might fix Mail for you, but...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?
If there is, I don't know how.

I'm guessing since the OP prefers Gmail webmail they are never expunged.
I wish I knew what the problem is. I have gmail webmail on every day all day but I'm not having that issue.
stop google asking me to switch to chrome
