Now that the Chromium Version of Microsoft EDGE runs on Microsofts Consoles (with mouse and keyboard support btw.), it would be great to see how Opera GX would run on my Series X.
Thoughts?

@pschirki Microsoft allows installing third party programs/apps on Xbox? What OS Xbox runs?

@leocg Sure, there are a whole bunch of 3rd Party apps on Microsoft consoles. Monument Browser, Kodi, Spotify, Tune-In radio, Netflix, those are only some of the 3rd Party apps. Thing is, those are all UWP-Apps, and maybe you should contact some EDGE-Devs how they ported the Chromium Engine to UWP.
XBOX Consoles run on a Windows 10 kernel.

@pschirki I'm not sure if Opera would be interesting in developing for a specific device, but it's just my guess.

So What is a specific device in your eyes? The XBOX OS is based on Windows 10, and a console is just another device like a smartphone or a tablet. Opera GX is a so-called "Gaming Browser" so why not establish it on a Gaming Console?
No offense, it looks like that you do not seem to be involved in any kind of Opera development, you are the Moderator of this forum, is that right? So why not let people decide who would know what to do with my suggestion?

@pschirki Opera may not be interested in developing a UWP version of Opera, that's what I think. However, as I said, it's just my guess.
