It doesn't use Edge's rendering system, but it still allows MS fans who like Edge to still have the experience anywhere they are, even if it's on a competing platform. One thing that Microsoft is good at is sharing it's services. I this was about productivity and the consumer, it would be about the service. It is Google that is bent on making WIndows App Store irrelevant, All they had to do is write the freaking chrome browser app App for pete sake. Fact of the matter is if Microsoft wants people to use the Store, it might be a good idea to have the proper Chrome browser available in there' Of course, it would be better if Google had just put the actual Chrome browser in the Store, but either Microsoft or Google aren't allowing this to happen. Google putting an Installer in there gives Google an official home in the Microsoft Store for the few people who are looking in there for apps. It's likely in there because a few people might be looking for Google Chrome in the Microsoft Store, and up until now have been met with nothing but spam apps that somehow bypass Microsoft's approval system. So this begs the question why is this in the Store if it isn't for Windows 10 S users? It'll download, but when the Installer tries to install Chrome itself, the process will fail as the Chrome browser isn't coming from the Microsoft Store. 'īut, you followed that parapgraph with LOADS of excuses for Google, that just sucks.īecause Chrome still isn't technically in the Microsoft Store, this Google Chrome Installer doesn't work on Windows 10 S. That, or Google was feeling particularly lazy and didn't want to go through the effort of running Chrome through the Centennial bridge.

Google Chrome doesn't use Microsoft's rendering engine, obviously, and as such isn't actually allowed on the Store.

' Why has Google done this? Likely to bypass Microsoft's limitations that conclude any browser on the Microsoft Store must use Microsoft's own rendering engine. You detailed this this in this paragraph which is very true and not different from how edge is contructed on Android platform using Google's engine or how chrome and Edge were done on iOS both using Apple's defacto browser shells. sort of' That title is not correct, That is no Google Chrome, what is in posted on the store is a Google Scam and your Title Clickbait it. 'Google Chrome finally arrives in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10.
