Microsoft Edge’s new Copilot mode: 4 features that make it an AI browser
Microsoft is giving its Edge browser a serious AI upgrade with Copilot Mode — an experimental new feature that blends web browsing with personal assistance. Think of it as a smarter way to browse, compare, and act across tabs, all powered by the same Copilot tech Microsoft has been building into Windows and Office. Here are four key features worth noting:
Searches across all open tabs Copilot Mode can read, analyse, and compare content across every tab you have open. So instead of jumping between pages, you can just ask, “What’s the consensus across these?” and Copilot will summarise the key points from all tabs in one go.
A persistent side pane that follows you Copilot lives in a dedicated side pane that remains accessible no matter where you go in the browser. This means you don’t have to relaunch it every time or lose your chat history—your AI assistant stays with you as you browse.
Context-aware natural language commands Whether you’re browsing research papers or shopping for shoes, you can ask questions like, “Which of these options is cheapest?” or “Find me the key argument here.” Copilot understands the context from the open tabs and tailors answers accordingly.
Voice-based interaction support You can talk to Copilot instead of typing. Whether you’re too busy to type or just prefer speaking, this hands-free option adds convenience and accessibility, especially during multitasking or mobile use.
