Majority of users employ Edge to download Chrome setup, clearly Microsoft disapproves of this, perhaps why the software giant has shifted to a new tactic, as per recent reports users have just discovered a Windows 10 preview urging users to install Chrome or Firefox on the platform.

Upon downloading and installing Chrome or Firefox browser on Windows 10, a dialog box accompanied by a notification will appear on the screen indicating users don't need to install other browsers as the operating system comes pre-installed with Edge browser. Although users can dismiss this popup window, it's evident Microsoft's strategy is to deter users from installing and using rival browsers and switch to Edge browser.

It's highly likely that the feature displaying alerts to install Chrome and Firefox browsers will be integrated and released in the official Windows 10 October 2018 Update.
