Chrome isn't the only browser with a hidden game. Microsoft Edge ships a surfing game — type edge://surf in Edge's address bar — that fills the same role as the dino. Here's how they compare.
Side by side
| Chrome Dino | Edge Surf | |
|---|---|---|
| Open with | chrome://dino or going offline | edge://surf or Edge's offline page |
| Direction | Side-scrolling runner | Top-down downhill surfing |
| Controls | One/two keys: jump, duck | Arrow keys or mouse steering |
| Modes | One endless mode | Endless, time trial, and slalom |
| The enemy | Cacti, pterodactyls, your reflexes | Obstacles plus a kraken that chases you |
| Style | Minimal monochrome pixels | Colorful, more detailed art |
Which should you play?
The dino is the purer skill test — one input, rising speed, nothing to hide behind. Surf is more of a cruise, with modes and power-ups to explore. The real answer: the one in the browser you're using. And if you're in neither, our online dino game runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari alike — as do all five games on the hub.
Browsers hiding games is a small tradition — see the full list of Google's own in Google's hidden games.
