Microsoft isn\u2019t impressed with Google\u2019s obvious snub of the Windows Store, and it\u2019s taking action. \u201cWe have removed the Google Chrome Installer App from Microsoft Store, as it violates our Microsoft Store policies,\u201d says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Citing the need to ensure apps \u201cprovide unique and distinct value,\u201d Microsoft says \u201cwe welcome Google to build a Microsoft Store browser app compliant with our Microsoft Store policies.\u201d That\u2019s an invitation that Google is unlikely to accept. There are many reasons Google won\u2019t likely bring Chrome to the Windows Store, but the primary reason is probably related to Microsoft\u2019s Windows 10 S restrictions. Windows Store apps that browse the web must use HTML and JavaScript engines provided by Windows 10, and Google\u2019s Chrome browser uses its own Blink rendering engine. Google would have to create a special Chrome app that would adhere to Microsoft\u2019s Store policies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">Most Windows 10 machines don\u2019t run Windows 10 S, so Google probably won\u2019t create a special version just to get its browser listed in the Windows Store. Google can\u2019t just package its existing desktop app into a Centennial Windows Store app, either. Microsoft is explicit about any store apps having to use the Edge rendering engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">The Verge understands Google created this installer app to combat the fake Chrome apps that can be found in the Windows Store, a problem Microsoft has been trying to address for years. Google\u2019s workaround has now been removed from the Windows Store, so Windows 10 users will have to continue using Microsoft Edge to access the download site for Chrome if they want to access Google\u2019s browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;color: #000000\">This isn\u2019t the first time Microsoft and Google have battled over browsers or platforms. Both companies fought over a YouTube app for Windows Phone, Microsoft targeted Google with \u201cScroogled\u201d commercials, and Microsoft has also criticized Chrome\u2019s battery usage. We\u2019ve reached out to Google to see if this is a battle that will continue, but the company is not commenting on the removal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt\">Source:-\u00a0https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2017\/12\/19\/16797358\/microsoft-google-chrome-windows-store-removal<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/technology\/microsoft-removes-googles-chrome-installer-windows-store.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft removes Google\u2019s Chrome installer from the Windows Store Microsoft removes Google\u2019s Chrome installer from the Windows Store:- Google published a Chrome app in the Windows Store earlier today, which just directed users to a download link to install the browser.
