Microsoft Edge is rolling out a new Copilot feature that lets the AI chatbot tap into every tab you have open. Ask it a question, and it can pull answers from across your browsing session. That means comparing products side by side, getting a quick summary of open articles, or finding something you read earlier without digging through tabs yourself.
Microsoft says users will have control over what the feature can access. In its announcement, the company noted you can 'select which experiences you want or leave off the ones you don't.' That kind of opt-in framing suggests Microsoft is at least aware of how much some users bristle at AI features that feel intrusive.
The update also marks the end of Copilot Mode, a previous feature that could similarly read tab content but went further with agentic tools like booking reservations on your behalf. Microsoft has folded those capabilities into the broader Copilot experience, consolidating rather than expanding the number of AI modes on offer. The move signals a shift toward a single, more integrated AI layer inside Edge rather than a menu of separate features competing for attention.
