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.
When 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.

Browse smarter with multi-tab context
With 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.
Accelerate everyday tasks with Actions
Starting 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.
