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.

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.
