For decades, the way we’ve used browsers has remained linear: open a tab (or 20), search for something, read a page, repeat. It’s a model that’s worked well, but it hasn’t fundamentally changed. Until now. As AI begins to reshape nearly every facet of digital life, we’re witnessing a turning point in how we interact with the web. Now, it’s worth asking: is your browser working for you as much as it should?This is why today we’re excited to launch Copilot Mode, a new experimental mode in Microsoft Edge, and our next step towards building a more powerful way to pilot the web.With Copilot Mode on, you enable innovative AI features in Edge that enhance your browser. It doesn’t just wait idly for you to click but anticipates what you might want to do next. It doesn’t just give you endless tabs to sift through but works with you as a collaborator that makes sense of it all. It keeps you browsing, cuts through clutter and removes friction to unlock your flow – all built to the highest Microsoft standards of security, privacy and performance trusted by billions of people and businesses worldwide – with you as the user always in control.https://youtu.be/67jMrJOO52IWhen you open a new tab in Edge with Copilot Mode on, you’ll see a clean, streamlined page with a single input box that brings together chat, search and web navigation. Copilot understands your intent and helps you get started faster. Copilot Mode also sees the full picture across your open tabs, and you can even instruct it to handle some tasks. Turn your browser into a tool that helps you compare, decide and get things done with ease. Over time, we will continue to improve and add features to Copilot Mode. And if at any time you prefer today’s classic experience on Edge, you can change this in your browser settings.Copilot Mode is available for free, for a limited time, starting today in all Copilot markets, exclusively on Edge for Windows and Mac.* This is a fully opt-in feature – be sure to click and try out the latest features. Help us shape the future of AI-powered browsing.If you’re ready to join us on this journey, head over to aka.ms/copilot-mode to try Copilot Mode today.Browse smarter with multi-tab contextWith your permission, you can let Copilot see all your open tabs so it can understand the full context of what you’re exploring online. This means better comparisons, faster decisions and less tab toggling. For example, when researching vacation rentals across multiple sites, chat with Copilot to quickly identify which option is closest to the beach and includes a full kitchen – saving time and reducing friction.https://youtu.be/rAkgwdJwQrwAccelerate everyday tasks with ActionsStarting today, Copilot in Edge supports natural voice navigation. You can speak directly to Copilot about what you’re trying to do – whether it’s locating information on a page, or having Copilot open a few tabs to compare options between products. Just say what you need, and Copilot will help you move faster with less clicking and typing.Coming soon, you will be able to give Copilot permission to access the additional browser context it needs, such as your history and credentials, to take more advanced and seamless actions – like booking reservations or managing errands on your behalf. Imagine simply asking, “Find me a paddleboard rental near work,” and Copilot not only finds the best option, but checks the weather, makes the booking and even suggests sunscreen or tutorial videos to help you prepare.https://youtu.be/7_Vb07k52y8Stay focused and in your flow with easier access to CopilotBring Copilot into any webpage without losing your place. Whether converting recipe measurements or translating content, Copilot appears in a dynamic pane while keeping the original page visible. It’s perfect to help cut through distractions like pop-ups and long-winded blog posts, and to get straight to the information you need.https://youtu.be/vQ5fqxC78isPick up where you left off Copilot will soon be able to guide you in your tasks and organize your browsing – past and present – into helpful, topic-based journeys. These journeys offer suggestions for what to do next, helping you stay focused and keep projects moving forward. For example, if you’ve been researching how to start an online business, Copilot can recognize that and surface relevant insights like recommending a tutorial to watch as you explore different website-building methods. You will always be in control, with Copilot only able to access your browsing content when you choose to enable it, and with clear visual cues when it is helping in the background. With such a powerful feature, our teams are committed to user privacy and security, and we are taking our time to make sure this is built right.https://youtu.be/UIckzrxpwtkOur commitment to privacy and securityYour privacy and security continue to be our utmost priority.
