Microsoft Removes Google’s Chrome Installer from the Windows Store

Edge has ugly font rendering (seems to be common to all Metro apps) and loses all your tabs when you quit (total dealbreaker for me).

I don't lose tabs when I close Edge (it does warn that I am closing all tabs when I exit). They come back when I open Edge the next time. Definitely a setting that can be switched.

The only suggestion for fonts is maybe using the ClearType font tuner tool in Control Panel.

FWIW I prefer Chrome but dig what MS is doing with Edge.

I really really wish Firefox would actually close the tabs when I quit.

Preferences -> General Tab -> When Firefox Starts -> "Show Your Home Page" instead of "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

Can't you uncheck "Show your windows and tabs from last time" from settings ?

Isn't that the default non-mobile behaviour of Chrome and Firefox too?

Though I admit it seems weird for a browser that's apparently designed for mobile.
