&gt; <i>I’m not bothered by the Windows Store limitation very much, but not being able to set another browser by default is ridiculous. If Chrome or a newcomer ever arrives in the Windows Store, I should be free to set those as my default.</i><p>It&#x27;s worse than that. Windows 10 S is like iOS in that it forbids any other browser or JavaScript engine on the platform. So you&#x27;ll never be able to run true Firefox or Chrome or any other alternative browser engine on Windows 10 S.<p>For my purposes this makes Windows 10 S unusable. I don&#x27;t want to use EdgeHTML, I want to use real Firefox:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mspoweruser.com&#x2F;google-chrome-may-not-able-come-windows-10-s-even-google-wanted&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mspoweruser.com&#x2F;google-chrome-may-not-able-come-wind...</a>
