Recently Chrome has started crapping out after being open for too long or having too many tabs open.
It looks like this:
So when that happens I switch to using Microsoft Edge. Google then kindly reminds me that I should be using chrome:
I press "No Thanks", but it comes back. Is there a way for me to prevent this from happening?

Btw, the Chrome issue you described is already fixed. There was an update some days later.

Should this be moved to Web Apps? It seems to be more about Google.com than either Chrome or Edge.

I believe you're referring to this popup about Chrome (browser), not the one in your picture about Google (search engine).
I haven't come across a way to simply make Google remember my answer and stop asking me, but you can block it like any other ad with Adblock:
Click the ... in the upper right of the browser.
Click Adblock
Click "Block an ad on this page"
Click the popup and drag the Adblock slider until it disappears
Click "Looks Good"

For this to work, you have to install AdBlock.

Nope - It's not possible without editing html. Also the screenshot you shown is google asking you to change your search engine, not asking you to switch to chrome. If you want to use chrome you can try Chrome Canary. Chrome Canary is the development version of chrome. When I was having problems with chrome the canary version helped me. If That does not work post in Google product fourms for chrome. You can post by clicking the red "New Topic" Button in the top corner. I hope I helped!

Hello all Windows 10 users, I Found this solution from another user. It worked perfectly. Here is what you do: Click the windows key + i key. This will bring up "Windows Settings". If not go to the search box next to the windows menu at the bottom left of your screen and type "Settings" excluding the quotation marks.
Once opened, in the "Find a Setting" box at the top, type in "notifications", again no quotation marks. Press ENTER. Select the FIRST option on the right side called "Notifications and actions settings". You should now see another box appear with the title at the top stating that you are in fact in "Notifications & actions".
Now all you need to do is scroll down a little bit, either by using down arrow or by using your mouse. Under the "Notifications" section you will see an option called "Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows". Toggle this to the OFF position and bingo, no more PUSH notifications from Windows to you regarding installing Google Chrome.
Now this worked for me and I hope this works for all of you too, plus anyone who has come across this. For your information I’m running Windows 10 so access to the above options maybe slightly different in other versions of windows, although I would expect the likes of Windows 8 & 8.1 to be roughly the same.
Good Luck!

For Edgers, if you're sick and tired of Google trying to own your life and dictate how
you use your browser, and want to circumvent the display of its aggravating Chrome pop-
up when using Google to search for whatever and return to your one-click lifestyle, then
try the following if none of the other answers work (I've tried all and none work for me):
Click on the menu expansion ellipses (…) in upper right corner
Click on Settings
"Open Microsoft Edge with" and select "A specific page or pages" from selection box
Enter a URL other than Google (I use https://www.drudgereport.com/) and click
the disk (save) icon
Scroll down to "Advanced settings" and click "View advanced settings"
If desired, turn on "Show the home button" and select "New tab page" in the
selection box
Scroll down to "Search in the address bar with" and if "Google" is not
displayed, click on "Change search engine"
Under "Choose one" select "Google (default)" or "Google Search (discovered)"
(if a Google option is not displayed, back out of Settings and search for
google.com, then go back into Settings > Advanced settings > Change search
engine and select the Google option that is now displayed)
Back out of Settings
NOTE: If you want other Google services such as Gmail, Images, Maps, Translate, and
others, and you don't have them bookmarked, enter google.com in the address bar
to load the familiar Google splash page (including the infuriating and extremely
invasive Chrome pop-up).

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

For Edgers, if you're sick and tired of Google trying to own your life and dictate how
you use your browser, and want to circumvent the display of its aggravating Chrome pop-
up when using Google to search for whatever and return to your one-click lifestyle, then
try the following if none of the other answers work (I've tried all and none work for me):
Click on the menu expansion ellipses (…) in upper right corner
Click on Settings
"Open Microsoft Edge with" and select "A specific page or pages" from selection box
Enter a URL other than Google (I use https://www.drudgereport.com/) and click
the disk (save) icon
Scroll down to "Advanced settings" and click "View advanced settings"
If desired, turn on "Show the home button" and select "New tab page" in the
selection box
Scroll down to "Search in the address bar with" and if "Google" is not
displayed, click on "Change search engine"
Under "Choose one" select "Google (default)" or "Google Search (discovered)"
(if a Google option is not displayed, back out of Settings and search for
google.com, then go back into Settings > Advanced settings > Change search
engine and select the Google option that is now displayed)
Back out of Settings
NOTE: If you want other Google services such as Gmail, Images, Maps, Translate, and
others, and you don't have them bookmarked, enter google.com in the address bar
to load the familiar Google splash page (including the infuriating and extremely
invasive Chrome pop-up).

Should this be moved to Web Apps? It seems to be more about Google.com than either Chrome or Edge.
