I'm not too knowledgeable about the full tech but I understand that xCloud will - at present - only run on "Chomium" based browsers such as (surprise!) Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I don't think that Safari or Firefox will be supported; at least initially.
It's interesting as it seems that xCloud will operate in a similar fashion to Stadia. Generally folk haven't been too keen on that and it'll be intriguing to see if perceptions change for the Microsoft version. And, of course, I believe that Sony are in a partnership with Microsoft to share/develop cloud-based gaming functionality so I'd anticipate that Sony's offering (or development of PS Now) could be very similar to Microsoft's approach.
