Browse tools

Windows users get free page summaries and tab comparisons, but the Browse with Copilot agent is US-only and needs Microsoft 365 Premium.

Kenning's take

What it does

Microsoft Edge is a free web browser with Microsoft's Copilot assistant built in. Copilot can summarise articles and videos, answer questions about the page or several open tabs, and draft text or images. Another built-in tool groups past browsing into topics with summaries, so a task such as trip planning can be picked up later.

  • Copilot summarises articles and videos
  • answers questions across open tabs
  • Journeys groups browsing history into topic projects
  • Voice and Vision Copilot features
  • drafts text and images
  • sync across devices

Who it suits. People who want a free browser with an AI assistant for summarising and comparing pages, especially Windows users.
