Developers like to hide little secrets within their programs. In the case of web browsers, for example, Google Chrome has the T-Rex game that we can play when we don’t have the Internet (or at any time, with a URL), just like Edge has its own minigame: Surf. The difference is that while Google’s game is straightforward and hasn’t received any changes or improvements since its launch, Microsoft has been improving its game every so often. And now, the new Canary version of the browser brings us some very interesting improvements to this surfing game .
Edge’s Surf minigame is taking inspiration from a 90’s ski game: SkiFree . Unlike the Google game, Microsoft’s is a much more complete minigame in every way. This one is in color, has pixel- style graphics, offers several playable characters, different game modes, online highscore table and much more. A title much more complete than the Google game which, of course, we can play when there is, or is not, the Internet.
Continuing with the evolution of Edge, Microsoft has just released the new version 93 within the Canary branch. And this new version brings interesting news for those who like this minigame.
What’s new in the Edge 93 Surf game
The first novelty that we will find in this new version of the minigame is with a new simplified character selection panel. Thanks to him, we can better choose who we want to play with and start the game as soon as possible. Within the game, what we will find will be a greater variety of new obstacles that will try to slow us down, as well as a good amount of bugs and bugs fixed to improve the game experience.
Finally, Microsoft has also improved the way we share scores with our friends, thus improving competitiveness.

Other new features and improvements in Edge Canary 93
In addition to the changes to the surfing game, Microsoft has also included some other improvements in the new Canary version of its browser. The new version of the browser reduces latency when drawing and adds a new share button within the menu… of the PWAs . In addition, macOS users will now be able to enjoy features that, until now, were not available to them. For example, the new PIP mode of the browser or the possibility of using the fingerprint to authenticate.
Microsoft has also taken advantage of the new version of the browser to solve some errors related to the reliability of the browser when visiting websites or using PWAs, as well as to solve some errors and bugs detected in previous versions of the browser.
Of course, we remember that the new Edge 93 is in the “Canary” phase, that is, it is unstable and may have serious problems that affect the way we work. We recommend trying it with caution and not using it on a day-to-day basis.
