Summary
-
Microsoft Edge is offering an AI mode called “Copilot Mode” that replaces the common new tab page with AI features.
-
Copilot icon replaces bing or search icon, redirecting the search query to the Copilot website.
-
An alternative feature called “reference clue” provides AI-public aid based on your browsing history, but can be turned on/off manually.
AI is everywhere these days. And this is only going to be worse. Our browsers have been spared by madness for most parts so far, only with minor integration. The age browser of Microsoft is due to obtaining a “AI mode” that provokes heavy clippy vibes.
The Microsoft Edge, the latest update of version 136, adding a new “copillot mode” to the browser for some people, which looks clearly, very cursed. The edge currently facilitates the Copilot integration, but it is basically just a sidebar that removes the Copilot client for easy access. This, however, will bring a variety of AI features for browsing experience. In its current implementation, it appears to bring two things to the table. The most notable is an AI-managed new tab page that originally replaces the standard new tab page for soup-up Copilot window with some quick tips. It contains general website suggestions based on your discovery history, but it is clearly impure for a huge Copilot Prompt Box that shows the browser correct when it opens.
Microsoft is replacing the traditional bing or search icon with Copilot icon, and all interaction users with this search box will root on the Copilot website, in which the queens are automatically wrapped in a quick format suitable for AI. Microsoft wants the most, if not all, find questions to be rooted via Copilot, and this new new tab page has been re -prepared.

Perhaps the most cursed “reference clue” of two additions in this Copilot mode is the most cursed. This alternative feature, if enabled, allows Copilot to provide AI-borne answers and assistance based on your current webpage, browser history, or your priorities in Microsoft Edge “. This will essentially be equal to clippy, in a way – an omnipotent assistant will be a ubiquitous assistant ready to jump at any time if you ever need it. If properly applied, it can be useful for some people, but the way it feels that it is very aggressive. Thankfully, this is an alternative feature that you will need to turn on manually, and it is expected that this feature will once be in terms of rolling out for more people.
This version appears as part of 136, although it may be a staging roll-out. There is a flag that you can manually turn on in the experimental flag section of the browser, although I tried to turn it on and I was not able to show Copilot mode. This can show for more people in future updates, however, if it is something you want, keep an eye on the update coming soon. This sounds like one of the things where you will not get an option, though.
