Windows 11 Copilot app is getting its own browser, but not everyone's happy
Windows 11's Copilot app is getting its own browser — a helpful move, or another way for Microsoft to push Edge?
Microsoft has introduced an in-app browser for the Copilot app on Windows 11 and macOS. When users follow links provided by the AI, they will open in a side panel within the Copilot app instead of launching separately in their default web browser. This feature has been under testing since early 2023 and will be rolled out to all users around late November.
While some users appreciate the convenience of accessing web pages within the Copilot app, others have expressed strong reservations about the move. On Reddit, many users have voiced their disapproval, stating they prefer using their external web browser for such purposes. Microsoft's introduction of this browser is aimed at keeping users within the Copilot app and indirectly promoting the use of Microsoft's Edge browser.
However, the feature is primarily intended for Copilot app users, who are not part of the anti-AI skepticism crowd.
