🌐 Two days following OpenAI’s Atlas launch, Microsoft revealed a browser with almost the same AI features.
Its an AI layer that can reason across tabs, take actions, and resume projects with opt in history context for richer answers.
With Actions, chat or voice can open pages, jump to the info on a site, or handle multi step chores like unsubscribing from newsletters and booking restaurants, with a free limited preview in the U.S. only as Microsoft rolls it out.
With Journeys, Edge groups past browsing into topics and brings a user back where they left off with suggested next steps, also free limited preview in the U.S. only.
Turning on Page Context lets Copilot use browsing history to tailor replies, and it can be switched off any time in Settings.
Control is explicit, Copilot Mode is a toggle with clear visual cues when it is acting or listening, and data is governed by the Microsoft Privacy Statement with optional personalization.
The Scareware blocker uses on device AI to detect fake full screen pop up scams and automatically stops them. The password manager keeps all your passwords safe, checks them for leaks or hacks 24/7, and alerts you if anything looks compromised.
Availability spans all Copilot markets on Windows and Mac with mobile coming, while Actions and Journeys remain limited previews in the U.S. with access expanding over time as Microsoft validates the features.
This turns the browser from passive clicks into assistant style help that cuts time on messy workflows like planning, research, and bookings.
Browsers usually have a similar look, but with the heated AI competition and tension between the two firms, getting both browsers within the same week feels pretty meaningful.
