Edge Copilot Changes Browsing

Microsoft introduces “Copilot Mode” in Edge for smarter browsing

This optional mode turns Copilot from a side assistant into an active browsing partner, able to “see” open tabs and help with complex tasks like comparing products, summarizing research, and organizing web sessions.

• Copilot Mode works like screen sharing, where users choose which tabs or windows the AI can see.

• It can compare multiple pages (like hotels or products) without switching tabs.

• Voice navigation lets users talk to Copilot for quick searches, comparisons, and actions.
