New Microsoft Edge for Xbox one
Hey community, I want to know whether it is planned to bring the new edge browser to Xbox one. Or is there already a release date? Sincerely yours Fabian
- Apr 30, 2021GOOD NEWS.
Microsoft has started publicly testing the "Chromium-powered" version of their Edge browser on Xbox consoles. Xbox testers in the Alpha Skip-Ahead group can now access the new Microsoft Edge on Xbox One or Xbox Series S / X consoles. It is also planned that you will be able to use a USB keyboard and MOUSE with this new app, but in the early stages of Alphs, there still needs work to be done.
However, it is in testing and scheduled to be released sometime this summer - 2021.
WOO HOO !!!

Fabi_450 I doubt Microsoft will ever do such a thing. In fact, it would be another small step to making the Xbox a regular PC - and they will NEVER do that. The Xbox is heavily subsidized (compared to PS), and pushing the Xbox as a PC replacement is the last thing Microsoft wants.
I wonder if the Chromium addon works in Kodi for Xbox.
