There’s a new update for the Edge browser on desktop and mobileMicrosoft has retired Copilot Mode, which came to the browser last yearIt’s been replaced by a raft of separate AI features, including one that can (with your permission) scan across all your open tabs Microsoft is dropping Copilot Mode from Edge, but if you thought that AI was going away from the web browser, think again, as AI features are actually being baked directly into the app instead. Microsoft announced that as part of the latest update for Edge, Copilot Mode is being retired from the browser, but there are new AI features coming in for the desktop version of the app (and the mobile one, too). The biggest change here is that Copilot can now scan over all the tabs you have open in Edge and pull information to answer your queries.
