Summary
-
Microsoft Edge introduces an AI mode called “Copilot mode” which replaces the new usual tab page with AI features.
-
The co -pilot icon replaces the Bing or Research icon, redirecting search requests to the Copilot website.
-
An optional functionality called “Clues of context” provides assistance generated by AI as a function of your navigation history, but it can be activated / deactivated manually.
AI is everywhere these days. And it will only get worse. Until now, our navigators have been spared madness for the most part, with only minor integrations at best. Microsoft’s Edge browser should obtain an “AI mode” that evokes heavy clipplant vibrations.
Microsoft Edge’s latest update, version 136, is to add a new “co -pilot mode” to the browser for some people who, frankly, seem very cursed. Edge currently has the integration of Copilot, but it is essentially a sidebar that removes the customer from co -pilot for easy access. However, this would bring a variety of AI features to the navigation experience itself. In its current implementation, it seems to bring two things to the table. The most notable is a new tab page powered by AI which essentially replaces the standard tab page for an inflated co -pilot window, with some quick suggestions. He has the usual website suggestions based on your search history, but this is clearly depressed for a huge co -pilot prompt box that appears just when you open the browser.
Microsoft replaces the Bing icon or conventional research with the COPILOT icon, and all interactions with this search area will route users to the COPILOT website, with automatically wrapped queries in a quick format adapted to AI. Microsoft wants most search requests, if not all, are sent via Copilot, and this new redesigned tab page testifies.

Perhaps the cursed of the two additions of this co-pilot mode is the “context indices”. This optional feature, if activated, allows Copilot to provide answers and assistance generated by AI-AI according to your “current web page, browser history or preferences in Microsoft Edge”. It would be essentially the AI equivalent to Clipippy, in a way – an omnipresent assistant ready to jump at any time if you need it. If it is properly implemented, it could be useful for some people, but the way it sounds right now is like something extremely invasive. Fortunately, this is an optional feature that you will need to activate manually, and this will remain the case once this feature is published on more people.
This apparently takes place as part of version 136, although this is a deployment staged. There is a flag that you can activate manually in the experimental browser flags section, although I tried to turn it on and I could not get the COPILOT mode to appear. This could appear for more people in future updates, however, so if it is something you want, keep an eye on an update to come soon. It looks like one of those things where you will not have much choice.
