Microsoft is updating Edge's Copilot AI to access information across all open browser tabs. Users can now ask the chatbot to compare products, summarize articles, and answer questions about their browsing content.

The new feature lets Copilot gather data from multiple tabs simultaneously, eliminating the need to manually switch between pages. Users can request product comparisons while shopping, get summaries of open articles, or extract specific information across several sources in one query. Microsoft emphasizes user control, allowing people to select which experiences to enable or disable. The company is retiring the separate Copilot Mode feature, consolidating its AI capabilities into the main Copilot interface. The update streamlines research and multitasking workflows, particularly useful for users juggling multiple articles, product pages, or documents. It represents Microsoft's broader effort to deepen AI integration into Edge, competing with similar features in other browsers as generative AI becomes standard in web tools.
