copilot in app browsing

About this tag
The copilot in app browsing tag covers Microsoft's feature that lets Copilot for Windows open links inside a docked side pane rather than launching a separate browser. Tabs persist across conversations, and with user permission, Copilot can read tab content to summarize, compare, or draft text. This functionality is part of a staged rollout to Windows Insiders announced in March 2026. Discussions focus on how the embedded web view keeps users within the Copilot interface, the privacy implications of granting read access, and the practical benefits for research and multitasking. The tag is relevant for Windows users exploring Copilot's evolving integration with browsing tasks.
