Google has launched its Chrome web browser in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10, allowing users to head to the Windows 10 app store and download Google’s ever-popular Chrome browser… well, sort of. It’s true that you can now download Chrome via the Microsoft Store, but not directly, as the app Google has submitted isn’t actually a browser.



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. Google Chrome doesn’t use Microsoft’s rendering engine, obviously, and as such isn’t actually allowed on the Store. That, or Google was feeling particularly lazy and didn’t want to go through the effort of running Chrome through the Centennial bridge.
