Microsoft expands Copilot features in Edge browser

Microsoft is expanding its Copilot AI tool in the Edge web browser to scan open tabs and draw on browsing history for suggestions. The updates apply to both desktop and mobile versions of the browser.

Microsoft detailed the changes in a blog post this week. Copilot can now compare options across tabs, highlight key details and generate answers without requiring users to switch tools. It also offers the option to turn browsing activity into an audio podcast and create quizzes or study guides from viewed material.
