In summary:
- Microsoft Edge is receiving a visual overhaul inspired by the Copilot app, featuring updated settings, quick menus, and new tab pages that affect all users.
- PCWorld reports these design changes are independent of AI features, meaning users will see the Copilot-style interface even without using AI functionality.
- The redesign is currently being tested in Canary and Dev versions with no confirmed release date for the general public yet.
Microsoft is testing a comprehensive visual update to its Edge browser, making it more similar to the Copilot app, reports Windows Central.
The new visual design includes new settings pages, updated quick menus, and a new tab page with shapes, colors, and fonts taken directly from the Copilot app. The changes are not tied to AI mode and are applied even if Copilot features are not enabled.
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft’s CEO of AI, has previously said that the company wants to develop Edge and integrate it with AI features, rather than creating a completely new AI browser.
The new design is currently visible in the Canary and Dev versions of Edge. It’s unclear when it will appear in the full release. You can see an example of what it looks like from Windows Central below:
