I agree. Microsoft store on Windows 10 should accept browser engine other than Microsoft Edge like Firefox. It's insane on Windows 10S you can't use any other browser other than Microsoft Edge.
- JamesBarney 6y agoHas Firefox released a UWP version for the windows store?
- shakna 6y ago> No. When you're using Windows 10 in S mode, Microsoft Edge is always the default web browser, and Bing is the default search engine. But you can access other browsers and search engines while in S mode. You can download any browser available in the Microsoft Store in Windows, and you can navigate to any other search engine website. [0] Would it matter if it did, considering that it cannot become the default browser? If you cannot modify the default (without permanently switching out of S mode) then in all likelihood, even if you have downloaded a different browser, you'll end up using the default eventually.

- JamesBarney 6y agoI think it matters whether a platform disallows an app or just disallows setting that app to default.
