Įdge was initially built with Microsoft's own proprietary browser engine EdgeHTML and their Chakra JavaScript engine, a version now referred to as Microsoft Edge Legacy. The Chromium-based Edge replaced Internet Explorer (IE) in Windows 11 as the default web browser (for compatibility with Google Chrome). It was first bundled with Windows 10 and Xbox One in 2015, and later released for other platforms: Android and iOS in 2017, macOS and older Windows versions ( Windows 7 and later) in 2019, and Linux in 2020.

The update also comes with support for a mouse. This means people can open a tab on their console and send that to the Edge browser on their desktop or laptop.īookmarks, web history and settings will also sync between the different browsers once a user is signed in.

Though both can run via the browser, they won't have all the bells and whistles like they would on their respective apps. Stadia and Discord are two examples of services that can now work on the Xbox's Edge browser, according to a Friday report from The Verge.

The browser offers cross-platform functionality and also runs browser-based services. Microsoft changed that Thursday by adding the latest version of its Edge browser to Xbox consoles. Browsers on video game consoles tend to be bare bones.
