Copilot Mode in Microsoft Edge is being retired as Copilot capabilities are added directly to the browser on desktop and mobile. Multi-tab reasoning is included, allowing Copilot to compare information across open tabs and summarize relevant details to support decisions. Browsing history context is incorporated so Copilot can use prior activity during assistance. Voice and Vision features are added for interaction and content understanding. Journeys and new productivity tools become part of the regular Edge experience. Users can customize which Copilot features they use, and the capabilities are accessed through the Copilot button rather than a separate mode.
"As part of today's update, we're retiring Copilot Mode. With helpful features built directly into Edge, it's now simpler to shape how you browse and get more done. Copilot Mode began as a way to test AI-assisted browsing in Edge, including tools that could search across open tabs and analyze page content. With the latest update, those capabilities are now available directly through Copilot in Edge rather than through a dedicated mode."
"One of the most notable additions is multi-tab reasoning, which lets users ask Copilot to compare information across open tabs. The feature can help with tasks such as weighing hotel listings, comparing smart TVs, reviewing research pages, or sorting through shopping options. Copilot can pull relevant details from those tabs, summarize them, and help the user make decisions without switching between pages."
"The shift turns Copilot in Edge from a separate experiment into part of the everyday browsing experience. That is where the update becomes more than a product tweak. The update makes multi-tab reasoning, browsing history context, Voice and Vision, Journeys, and new productivity tools part of the regular browser experience. The move also gives users the option to customize which Copilot features they use."
"Users no longer need to enable a separate mode; instead, they can activate these features through the Copilot button in Edge. Microsoft is retiring "Copilot Mode" in Edge as it builds AI browsing tools directly into Edge on desktop and mobile. Instead, the company is adding Copilot capabilities directly to Edge on desktop and mobile."
