MS asks to not use Chrome or FF for Fall update

I'm wondering where you got this information that the fall update is not going to be compatible with Chrome or FF??? I, Haven't heard this from any of the Insider previewers mentioning this in this or any other forum I participate in?

Another reference to this announcement is here:

It is likely one has to be part of the Insider Program in order to see that message. Also, it seems to be a test by MS to have people's reactions before the release of the upcoming Feature Update in October 2018.

Hi,
That maybe true but we have taking this thread over

I don't use cortana or chrome so hopefully someone can help you out in a productive way :)

Hi,
If the actual personal settings work it's no big deal just another MS leaning default setting.

If reactivates after cold startup... I'll at least have an issue with it lol

Yes, I agree and if it showed up, with all the insiders we have in this forum I'm sure there would be a very long thread about it. Just like we have with Classic Shell becoming incompatible with the coming FU

The reaction from insiders so far has been negative. I don't think MS is going to include this feature— preferably this pop-up— in its upcoming Feature Update for October 2018. Fingers crossed! If that ever happens, I would be

Hi there

I'd think it most unlikely and it would certainly run foul of EU legislation for a company to tell users of its products (Ms Windows) not to use another company's products ((Google / Chrome). I'm sure other parts of the world have similar legislation.

Allowed would be to say that Chrome doesn't work / can cause problems on latest version of Windows (not sure if it does but that's a hypothetical case) / some windows features won't run if you use chrome etc.

Can you imagine the law suits that would follow if for example Mercedes started pushing out commercials that said don't use BMW's or Audi's for example.

Cheers
