The latest Windows 10 Insider preview build included a pop-up warning when users attempted to install Google Chrome or Firefox.
The warning message was included in a recent Windows 10 preview, which is an early version of Windows 10 that allows users to test out new features. In the Windows 10 preview, when users tried installing Firefox or Chrome, the two most popular desktop web browsers, a window appeared saying that the user already has "Microsoft Edge – the safer, faster browser for Windows 10"", with a highlighted button to open Microsoft Edge, and a grey button allowing you to install the browser anyway.
Upon opening the installation program for either of these browsers, Windows 10 opened a window which warned against installing the browser – stating that users "already have Microsoft Edge – the safer, faster browser for Windows 10".
A new report by The Verge states that Microsoft is now reversing its decision to include this warning.
The warning will therefore not appear in the upcoming Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
