Microsoft’s Copilot Fall Release rewrites a familiar script: the assistant you used to summon for quick answers is now being taught to emote, remember, collaborate and — with permission — act on your behalf across Windows, Edge and mobile, led by a deliberately non‑human avatar called Mico and a...

Microsoft’s latest Copilot update turns the company’s digital assistant into a more conversational, collaborative and action-capable presence across the browser and Windows ecosystem — introducing an animated avatar called Mico, multi-user Copilot Groups for up to 32 participants, deeper Edge...

Microsoft’s Edge is shifting from a passive web viewer to an agentic assistant: the browser can now let Copilot act on your behalf and create persistent, resumable “Journeys” that stitch your recent browsing into task-focused workspaces — but those conveniences come with real privacy, security...

Microsoft Edge has quietly begun nudging users away from rival AI services and toward Microsoft’s own Copilot assistant by surfacing a small “Try Copilot” prompt in the browser chrome when users visit sites such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, or DeepSeek — a subtle UI nudge that turns browsing behavior...

Microsoft Edge is quietly surfacing a small, context‑aware “Try Copilot” prompt when users visit rival AI chat sites — a subtle UI nudge that opens Copilot in the sidebar and has reignited debates about platform defaults, privacy, and fair competition across browsers and AI services. Background...

Microsoft Edge has begun nudging users toward Microsoft’s AI assistant by surfacing a compact “Try Copilot” prompt in the browser chrome when certain rival AI chat sites are opened — a subtle but consequential maneuver that turns browsing behavior into a battleground for attention and default...

Microsoft’s push to steer more of your AI traffic toward its own assistant has quietly shifted into a new, browser-level nudge: the Edge address bar now feels like part product placement, part built-in assistant, and part pressure to stop using rival AI services. Observers report Edge will...

Microsoft Edge’s built‑in payments and autofill capabilities let you move from cart to confirmation in seconds — but recent UI changes and privacy trade‑offs mean a quick, secure setup matters more than ever for Windows 11 users. This guide walks through a fast, practical setup of the Microsoft...

Microsoft Edge is quietly pushing the same soft‑sell tactic tech companies have used for years: make a helpful feature extremely visible, then nudge users toward it until it becomes habitual — only this time the feature is an AI rewrite tool that can appear any time you select text in a web text...

Microsoft's documentation makes a simple but important distinction: Microsoft Edge will always prompt before sharing your precise location with a website, but websites can still estimate an imprecise location (for example by IP address) without the browser asking permission—and that behavior is...

I am using Windows 11 Pro. I am currently taking an online course, and the preferred browser is Chrome. Since I spend a lot of time in this course, I would like the default to be Chrome for the time being. I've set all the defaults I could find to Chrome, but the system seems to default to...

Windows 10 will reach its official end of support on October 14, 2025, but one critical piece of the platform — Microsoft Edge and the WebView2 runtime — will continue to receive security and feature updates on Windows 10 (22H2) through at least October 2028, even for devices that do not...

Short answer — because Microsoft Edge is built on Chromium: Microsoft documents Chromium-assigned CVEs in the Security Update Guide so Edge administrators know when Microsoft’s Edge builds have ingested the upstream Chromium fix and are no longer vulnerable. How to check your browser version (so...

Short answer Microsoft documents CVE-2025-11207 in its Security Update Guide because the bug is in Chromium OSS (the codebase that Microsoft Edge uses). Microsoft publishes these entries to record that the Chromium vulnerability has been addressed in the Microsoft Edge (Chromium‑based) builds...

A Chromium-assigned vulnerability like CVE-2025-11205 (heap buffer overflow in WebGPU) appears in Microsoft’s Security Update Guide because Microsoft Edge (Chromium‑based) consumes the Chromium open‑source engine; Microsoft uses the Security Update Guide to record upstream Chromium CVEs, track...

The short answer: Microsoft documents Chromium-assigned CVEs in the Security Update Guide because Microsoft Edge (the Chromium-based Edge) consumes Chromium OSS. MSRC adds those CVE entries to show customers the vendor-of-origin (Chrome/Chromium) information and to indicate whether the current...

Microsoft’s push to make Edge an “AI browser” took a decisive step this year with an update that gives Copilot the ability to act on users’ behalf inside the browser — opening and navigating tabs, running searches, and executing multi-step tasks like bookings and form-filling when explicitly...

Microsoft’s Copilot is no longer a neat demo or a sidebar curiosity — it has become a deeply woven productivity layer across Windows, Microsoft 365 apps, OneDrive, and the Edge browser, and choosing whether to adopt it requires weighing clear time-saving gains against licensing, privacy, and...

Google pushed an emergency Chrome update to address CVE-2025-10585, a type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript engine that Google says is being actively exploited in the wild — and because Microsoft Edge is Chromium-based, Windows users and enterprises must confirm their Edge builds...

Microsoft has quietly escalated the browser wars by using a prominent Bing advertisement to label Microsoft Edge as the “recommended” browser for Windows 11 users who search for Google Chrome, deploying a full comparison table that highlights Edge-only features such as a built‑in VPN, AI...
