Summary
Microsoft Edge is updating its Copilot AI chatbot to access information from all your open browser tabs, letting you ask questions about tab content, compare products, and summarize articles. Users can choose which features to enable or disable, and Microsoft is replacing the older Copilot Mode (which had agentic features like booking reservations) with this new tab-aware version.
