Microsoft to bring native Caret browsing and high contrast mode to Chrome browser

[silversurfer]

After announcing Microsoft Edge move from EdgeHTML to Chromium/Blink, Microsoft actively contributing to Chromium code base, that’s not surprising at all and this shouldn’t surprise you also.
Apparently, Edge team wants to bring caret browsing and high contrast mode natively to Chrome browser.
 
The caret browsing feature available in Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer and Firefox browser, allows navigating to content in the webpage with the keyboard without using the mouse.
 
Pressing F7 shortcut triggers the prompt to turn on caret browsing which allows the user to select text with the keyboard when the feature is activated in supported browsers. Google Chrome offers an extension for the same.
 
But Edge team points out offering extension avoids using it in incognito mode, in a working environment where enterprise policies place restrictions on extensions and when guests browsing is used.
 
Now Edge team wants to offer their solution to implement native caret browsing in Chrome browser and display the turn caret browsing on the dialog when F7 shortcut is pressed.
