Microsoft starts testing Chromium-powered Edge Browser on Xbox consoles
Microsoft has started testing its Chromium-powered Edge
browser on the newly-launched Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S
consoles.
According to The Verge, Xbox testers in the
Alpha Skip-Ahead group can now access the new Microsoft Edge on
Xbox One or Xbox Series S / X consoles.
However, full mouse and keyboard support is still missing.
"The new browser on Xbox will give users access to websites
they want to surf on the controller," the report said on Sunday.
The current test version also supports many of the same features
from the desktop version of Edge that includes extensions and vertical tabs.
The current version of Edge also suffers from a few bugs at
present. It currently supports navigation via Xbox controller.
Users can also expect the core Edge features to be available on
the browser like support for extensions, Collections, and other desktop
features.
The Edge browser also brings support for Google's Stadia
cloud-based streaming platform. The browser is also likely to help users play
more browser-based games.
"Currently, the test is limited to Xbox testers in the Alpha
Skip-Ahead group but hopefully, it won't take Microsoft too long to
release it to the public," the report noted.
