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 says that Microsoft Edge is already installed on the device, and that it is safer and faster than the program browsing that you want to install.
The options offered by the company are to open Microsoft Edge or to proceed with the installation. There is also the option to disable this type of warnings in the future, but it leads to the list of applications in Settings and you will not find an option that does what the previous screen says!
Of course it could be Microsoft tests since the upcoming version it's only available to Insiders, but there's a chance we'll see this feature in the final version of the next Windows 10 when it's released.
Companies such as Google and Microsoft have at times used their dominant market position to promote their own 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, blocking the installation of other browsers on Windows puts Microsoft at a very low level. The company claims that Edge is safer and faster and gives the Open Microsoft Edge button as the first option and then "Install anyway" (see dark patterns)
