The Edge browser is one of Microsoft\u2019s greatest success stories of the last decade. It\u2019s a solid and snapp<\/a>y browser that, despite carrying the legacy of Internet Explorer, has gobbled up a ton of market share<\/a>. But Microsoft can\u2019t break old habits. It keeps adding useless crap to Edge, like coupon tools<\/a>, thinly-veiled credit card ads<\/a>, and now, game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

Microsoft is testing a new Games Panel in the latest Edge Canary<\/a> release. After activating the Games Panel in your browser Settings, a small icon appears to the right of your Search bar. Clicking this icon opens a side panel full of games like Microsoft Solitaire<\/em>, Microsoft Bubble<\/em>, Microsoft Sudoku<\/em>, and other titles previously featured on the MSN Games<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

Now, this Games Panel is just a shortcut to a simple webpage. It won\u2019t slow down your browser, but when enabled, it does<\/em> take up extra space in the Edge menu bar. We don\u2019t know if Games Panel will be enabled by default if<\/em> it reaches a stable Edge release. (I have a feeling Edge will show a pop-up asking if you want the feature.)<\/p>\n

But Edge users are understandably frustrated by the addition of Games Panel. Microsoft is still having trouble with basic tools like Edge Sync<\/a>, yet it can\u2019t stop adding useless features to the browser. Not to mention, Games Panel focuses on Microsoft-owned browser games, which could generate ad dollars for the company.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, Games Panel is exclusive to the latest Microsoft Edge Canary release, though it\u2019s only available to some users. You can try to enable the feature by installing Edge Canary<\/a>, opening Settings, navigating to the Appearance tab, and toggling the Games Panel button.<\/p>\n
