Microsoft Brings Tab Intelligence to Edge Browser, and I Dearly Wish Apple Would Add It to Safari

Microsoft says the browser will keep tab-aware chat, long-term memory and other AI tools as it retires a separate Copilot Mode.

  • Microsoft is retiring the standalone Copilot Mode in Edge, integrating AI tools directly into the browser for both desktop and mobile users.
  • Testing for the feature began in July last year, allowing users to analyze browser tabs and search for information across multiple open pages before the full rollout.
  • New features include an AI-powered Study and Learn mode for interactive quizzes, a writing assistant, and the ability to convert open tabs into podcasts.
  • Users can now leverage the Browse with Copilot tool to compare hotel bookings or smart TVs across open tabs without switching between windows on desktop and mobile.
  • Microsoft emphasizes user control, stating individuals can "select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don" through Edge settings to customize their Copilot experience.
