Play Microsoft Edge's New Surfing Game With No Internet
Microsoft Edge users without an internet connection have the option to fill the time with a surfing game — and it puts Google's famous dino game to shame. Having an offline browser game is nothing new, although Microsoft appears to have taken the whole idea to the next level. And the end result is mighty impressive.
Google Chrome is pretty well-known for offering a feature like this with its Dino endless runner game. The idea is pretty simple. Users control an endlessly running dinosaur, jump over obstacles, and that's all there is to it. Google added the dinosaur game to Chrome back in 2014, and here in 2022, it remains an iconic part of the offline browser experience. However, it hasn’t received much in the way of modernization since then. Users can now play the game even while online, but that's about the only change it's seen.

Microsoft Edge’s Senior Program Manager, William Devereux, announced a similar offline game for Edge in February 2020. While the game was previously used as a means to promote the Microsoft Edge logo, it's currently a permanent fixture in Microsoft's web browser. It was originally released to just the Canary and Dev channels of Edge, but as of today, it's available for all Edge users to play. To access the game, simply open Edge, type 'edge://surf' into the URL bar, and that's it.
