Games come to Edge with a new feature: Microsoft is "chromizing" its browser and we don't know if that's good or bad
Table of contents:
Microsoft continues to work to attract users to its web browser, Edge, and does so by adding various features and improvements, the last one being one of the most surprising. If we have already seen how it allows you to capture PDF's, facilitate voice typing, play Stadia, enable tab groups or PiP mode... now Edge receives something different. This is a shortcut to be able to play different titles available on the web
The tool to make it possible becomes part of Edge Canary through a dashboard integrated games in the Omnibar.It is the chosen method that facilitates access to all kinds of games available on the web, from arcade titles, puzzles, cards, sports... all from the MSN Games platform.
"Edge is chromizing"
A most surprising twist is that the games become almost integrated into the browser. Edge comes to have a new function that through the Omnibar, allows access without having to leave Edge to a series of games of various kinds.
The news has emerged thanks to a Reddit user, since this improvement is being distributed only in the development version of Edge, Canary and also only among a small number of users In fact, I just tested if it appears in my browser and the new access still does not appear.
Edge has a new function, although in this case it has nothing to do with other improvements that we have already seen and that are related to productivity. This addition goes another way and the acceptance it has among users remains to be seen.
The truth is that with so much added, Microsoft is making Edge look more and more like Chrome and we no longer know if that is it bad or is it good. Edge has been known for being an agile browser and it is increasingly counting on more add-ons, some of them with unclear utility.
We will have to see what impression Microsoft receives from users who try this function to see if they decide to bring it to the stable version or, on the contrary, it remains a simple experiment.
