About Edge
Microsoft Edge is a web browser with an integrated AI assistant called Copilot, which can read the content of open tabs to compare options, summarize pages, draft replies, and assist with tasks such as bookings, comparisons, and purchases. Copilot Vision extends this by analyzing the user's screen to offer suggestions. The browser is available for macOS, Windows, iOS, and Android, and syncs passwords, favorites, and settings across devices.
On macOS, Edge integrates with system features including Spotlight search, Touch ID, and trackpad gestures. Additional features include a scareware blocker, AI-generated browser themes, AI image generation, one-click tab organization, an energy saver mode intended to extend battery life, Edge Secure Network, built-in password management, and Microsoft Defender SmartScreen for blocking phishing and malware. A dedicated in-game browser is available through Game Bar for PC gaming.
Edge also integrates with Bing search and Microsoft Rewards, and provides access to free Microsoft 365 web apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) alongside browser content, noting that this requires internet access and that fees may apply for some features.
