Microsoft's new web browsers for the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles may soon let players play cloud-streamed games from Google Stadia. Microsoft Edge Chromium browser via the Xbox Alpha. I notice that it works fine with my keyboard, but it doesn't seem to recognize my wired mouse. I still must use the Xbox One controller to move the curser. Has mouse support been implemented in the Edge browser? Wondering if only certain mice are supported. Mar 30, 2021 Microsoft replaced its Edge browser with a new Chromium (which is the underlying architecture behind Google Chrome) version last year, and that new and improved version is finally making its way to.
As per reports Microsoft's Edge Legacy browser is going away by 2021 and will be replaced with Chromium based browser, I would like to get an update on Edge Chromium for Xbox One. Since their Browsers in Microsoft's ecosystem will be replaced with Chromium based browser, what about Edge for Xbox On. Microsoft has published a new Xbox extension for Microsoft Edge that blurs the lines between working from home and sneaking a peek into your favorite game streams. And hey, who says your web.
Microsoft Edge’s Chromium rehash is expanding to the Microsoft-line of Xbox console, seeing the Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One getting the Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge builds.
The test build of the Chromium-powered Microsoft Edge browser is now available to the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring of testers, which previews builds of future Xbox system upgrades. The Alpha Skip-Ahead users report back to facilitate these updates, ensuring Xbox is attuned, listening, and aligned with the community's thoughts.
One of the most exciting results of this update could be the ability to use Google Stadia to play browser-based games through the Xbox. If that's not enough to whet your appetite, then we're not sure what will.
Edge On Xbox
As of now, the Alpha Skip-Ahead group can access the new Microsoft Edge on the Microsoft range of consoles. Those lucky enough to nab an Xbox Series X with the help of our Xbox Series X stock tracker have had to contend with rampant supply issues this year, so it's nice to take the focus away from this by reporting on some more system-based news.
In terms of performance, well, it's still early days. It's reported that the Microsoft Edge browser works as could be expected with the Xbox controller, while it lacks support for the keyboard and full mouse controls. Being in its test infancy, it can be expected to be buggy in the early versions before being polished later down the line.
What does this mean for users? Well, a Chromium-based browser on Xbox should provide a decent uptick in browsing functionality: accessing websites through the console will be far more practical, and Microsoft Edge will now provide access to Google Stadia’s streaming service for browser-led games.
From March 9, the current support for the existing version of Microsoft Edge on Windows desktop will end; however, this doesn't signal the beginning of the end for Microsoft looking after the desktop. It, of course, follows news of a diet version of Microsoft Teams for less powerful PCs, like those found on our best laptops under £500, or the cheaper entrants on our best student laptops.

Overall, it's great news for Xbox users and it should see other compatibility improvements with popular services like Discord and Skype through the Microsoft Edge client.
