It looks like Microsoft will be dropping its plans to show a “warning” pop-up when Windows 10 users try to install Chrome or Firefox instead of sticking with its Edge web browser, after a backlash against its heavy-handed approach.

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.
