Microsoft will soon add an update to their Edge browser that will give users another way to procrastinate when surfing the internet.
After Microsoft released it's chromium based browser last year, the software has continued to receive updates like the Vertical tabs, Collections, Web capture and few others, in an effort to get a lot of users switch to the app.
It has been reported that Microsoft is working on a new feature that will help kill time online, which is ironical to more productivity. If you enjoy playing web based games, then this new feature is definitely made for you, the apps new feature will be called the Games Panel, and it was made with the intention of helping you pass time online, while waiting for a download to finish, instead of just staring at your screen.
According to a report from Windows Latest, Edge's new game panel will allow you to play classic games like Solitaire, Mahjong Arcade and other related games right from your computer.
These games would be accessed from Microsoft's new “Games” toggle in Edge's toolbar, but you'll also be able to access the new Games panel from the browser's three-dot menu as well.
Clicking on the game controller icon in the toolbar will bring up a new panel on the right side of the browser in a similar way to how Collections work in Edge. after the panel has been opened, you just need to find a game you want to play and the MSN Games website will launch in your browser. The good news is that the games panel will be disabled by default, but you would be able to activate it in the Appearance tab in the app's settings.
This new feature is currently in testing and it's likely to come out when Microsoft releases it's next update for the Edge browser.
