Google is notorious for its abysmal support of Windows 10's app store. A quick search reveals that there are only two apps available from the company, both of which are called Google. One is for PCs and the other targets mobile devices. Neither is of any real value to Google users on Windows 10 though.

If you want Gmail, Google Calendar, YouTube or Google Maps you will have to use the browser. However, there is a different story with Google Chrome. The browser just landed on Microsoft Store (Windows 10's app store), making it easier than ever to download it on a Windows 10 machine.
Chrome Web Store Alternatives. Chrome Web Store is described as 'Discover great apps, games, extensions and themes for Google Chrome ' and is a well-known app in the Web Browsers category. There are nine alternatives to Chrome Web Store for a variety of platforms, including the Web, Google Chrome, Opera, Firefox and SeaMonkey.
Get more done with the new Google Chrome. A more simple, secure, and faster web browser than ever, with Google's smarts built-in. Chrome OS: Chromebook users looking for an alternative to Google's set of editing tools can now turn to Microsoft Office, which is finally available on Chromebooks. The suite of office apps.
That's the good news, anyway. If you were expecting Google to offer a version of Chrome specifically tailored for Windows 10 users who prefer to use apps, you should know that this is basically just a launcher for the desktop installer that you can manually download from Google's site.
So, when you install the aptly-named 'Google Chrome Installer' what you get is a web wrapper for the download page, which gives you the ChromeSetup.exe file -- nothing more, nothing less. It's not exactly the sort of experience that you expect from a Google product as important as Chrome, but, quite frankly, it's better than nothing.
The app does not show up in search results at this time, but you can get to it by hitting this link. Initial ratings are as you might expect: really low. The Windows 10 users that have tried it were probably expecting something a bit more worthy of such a popular operating system, which explains the two-star average.
I would not be surprised if this is just an experiment so that Google can learn how much interest there is in store apps on Windows 10. If a significant number of users download Chrome perhaps Google will take things to the next level and come up with a more suitable incarnation of the browser. 3 up photo shop.

How to Stop Google Chrome from Opening Windows Store

Chrome works quite faster than other browsers even when you have a slow internet connection as it works on cache.
