If you want to get rid of the tab bar and have it feel more like an 'app', you can also append these to the Launch Options for Chrome: -window-size=1024,640 -force-device-scale-factor=1.25 -device-scale-factor=1.25 -kiosk ''.

Any other Steam Input mode, and the Deck Controller will not be picked up by Chrome. This just enables you to interact with Chrome and click things properly.

While in Gaming Mode, you will also want to set Steam Input on Chrome to be in 'Gamepad with Mouse Trackpad' mode, along with one edit to set the Right Trackpad click behaviour to be a Left Mouse button.

To get the Chrome package to work with the Deck controller, you need to do what Microsoft said in their guide for Edge and Xbox Cloud Gaming with this quick terminal command in Konsole in Desktop Mode (with Edge changed to Chrome of course): flatpak -user override -filesystem=/run/udev:ro.

Using the version of Chrome available on the Steam Deck, which you can install via the Non-Steam menu in the Steam Library of Gaming Mode, it's possible to tweak it to get it working fully. You can see on the official Chromium tracker that it has now shipped, and checking the Chrome version on Deck today, it's the same.

I was waiting on the Chrome update to ship to properly show off Cloud Gaming, which was available in the Dev and Beta versions of Chrome for a little while.

With two small quick fixes, you can play GeForce NOW on Steam Deck easily.

Good news Cloud Gaming fans, as it appears the version of Chrome available on the Steam Deck is now the correct version needed to detect the gamepad.
