Still, since 2015, Microsoft has provided Xbox One (and now Xbox Series X/S) owners with an Edge app that lets them surf the web without having to put down their controllers.

FYI, Microsoft initially launched the Chromium-based Edge browser back in January 2020. It promised back then, that the history and tab sync feature will be soon available for the browser.

But Microsoft seems to think the expense will be worth it in the end. As spotted by Twitter user Leopeva64, Edge is currently testing extension support in the Canary version of its Android app.
