In an effort to gain further support from the gaming community, Microsoft is working on a new feature \u2014 Edge for Gamers \u2014 which it says provides an enhanced user experience both inside and outside of gaming sessions.<\/p>\n
According to a Bleeping Computer report<\/a><\/strong>, the new mode enables a range of enhancements, including a gaming-oriented home page and new sidebar apps aimed at gamers.<\/p>\n It also adds a gaming efficiency mode, presumably reducing browser resource usage to provide the best in-game experience.<\/p>\n Users who enable the Edge for Gamers mode will be able to choose from a range of customisation options that align with popular gaming aesthetics, including dark mode and gaming-specific themes.<\/p>\n However, it is still in the early stages of development.<\/p>\n Once live, users can go to Settings<\/em>, Appearanc<\/em>e, and then scroll down to enable “Edge for Gamers” under the Customise browser<\/em> section.<\/p>\n According to Bleeping Computer, enabling Edge for Gamers doesn’t significantly change the browsing experience.<\/p>\n It notes that users are automatically redirected to the Edge Add-on Store once enabled, and popular gaming apps like Twitch and Discord are added to the sidebar.<\/p>\n The tech giant has been improving its Edge browser to compete with popular browsers like Google Chrome.<\/p>\n In March 2022, a leak revealed that Microsoft had begun testing a built-in cryptocurrency wallet, which it said includes integrated security features to protect against insecure addresses or apps.<\/p>\n From a design perspective, Microsoft said it offered a simplified experience to make Web3 easier to interact with.<\/p>\n In April 2023, Microsoft started rolling out a limited public preview of its Workspaces feature for the Edge browser.<\/p>\n The Workspace update aims to keep collaborators on the same page, with updates to web tabs, favourites, and documents taking place in real time through its tab-sharing feature.<\/p>\n “In Workspaces, you can create a single, shared view of your group’s web pages and documents within a unique browser window, with real-time updates,” it said.<\/p>\n The gaming-oriented feature adds an efficiency mode, gaming-aligned themes, and sidebar apps aimed at gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":489177,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,16],"tags":[86535,123,30102],"class_list":["post-492617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet","category-software","tag-edge-for-gamers","tag-microsoft","tag-microsoft-edge"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492617"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":492681,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492617\/revisions\/492681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/489177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
