Microsoft Unveils Enhanced Edge Copilot with Cross-Tab Information Access

Microsoft’s latest update to its Edge browser brings significant enhancements to the Copilot AI chatbot, allowing it to gather information from all open tabs without user intervention. Users can engage in conversations that span multiple tabs, comparing products, summarizing articles, and more. The new feature grants users flexibility in selecting which experiences they want to access or exclude. The announcement notes that users can choose which features to include or leave out, providing a tailored experience. Notably, Microsoft is retiring Copilot Mode, a similar feature that could have accessed open tabs but offered additional agentic capabilities like booking reservations on behalf of the user.
