If you try to install Firefox or Chrome on upcoming version of Windows 10 you will notice that the installation is interrupted by the functional system.
The screen that stops the installation indicates that Microsoft Edge is already installed on the device, and that it is safer and faster than the browser you want to install.
The options provided by the company are to open Microsoft Edge or proceed with the installation. There is also choice to turn off this type of warnings in the future, but it leads to the list of apps that are in Settings, and there you won't find an option that does what the previous screen says!
Of course it could be Microsoft testing since the upcoming release is only available for Insiders, but there is a chance to see this feature in the final release of the next Windows 10 as well.
Companies such as Google and Microsoft have at times used their dominant market position to promote their products. Google promotes Chrome for example when users use different browsers to sign in to company accounts, while Microsoft shows notifications on the Windows 10 platform to users using browsers other than Edge.
However preventing the installation of others browser on Windows it puts Microsoft on a very low level. The company's prompt claims that Edge is safer and faster and gives the Open Microsoft Edge button as the first option, then "Install anyway" (see dark patterns)
