Microsoft Edge’s latest stable channel update adds MORE AI — All Copilot all the time

You might recall the meme from Futurama which says, “Shocking, shocking, well not really shocking.” This phrase seems quite fitting for the recent update in the stable channel of Microsoft Edge, version 138.

Why? Copilot. More Copilot.

Microsoft is pushing forward with its aim to integrate Copilot extensively across various aspects of digital life, and two fresh features have recently been made available in the main release version.

• Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Microsoft Edge Context Menu. Microsoft Edge is introducing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat summarization menu item to our context menu. This feature helps users quickly unpack and ask questions about their open page.
• Copilot on the Microsoft Edge New Tab Page (NTP). Starting at the end of May 2025, users may see suggested work and productivity-related Copilot prompts by their search box on the NTP page. Also, users may see the Copilot icon in their search box, allowing them to click on the icon to send their current search query to Copilot.

The patch notes likely refer to May from one of the pre-release versions of Microsoft Edge.

You don’t need to rely on either option, but if you incorporate Microsoft 365 Copilot into your job tasks, then the proposed context menu enhancement could turn out to be beneficial.

Frequently, I employ AI tools to condense lengthy webpages. Including a function, initially designed for businesses, that streamlines this process would undoubtedly be beneficial and useful.

Besides that, Microsoft has integrated AI into its historical search feature. Now, instead of searching manually through your web history, you can simply input a keyword or phrase, allowing the system to find relevant pages in your browsing history using intelligent technology, all processed locally on your device.

By employing it, you’re training a model on your device that stays local, thus alleviating concerns about transmitting your search data to a distant cloud server for the purpose of AI model development, which is handled exclusively on your device.

Just like the Copilot New Tab Page, its settings can also be managed by administrators. They have the option to set a policy for it, which can be deactivated if either of these features is not desired.

Here’s what’s new in the most recent update, featuring essential enhancements for business users, bug fixes, and boosted performance for notification systems. For a comprehensive look at all the features, be sure to review the detailed release notes.

Some features might not be available to everyone simultaneously. If you can’t find them straightaway, please be patient as they’ll become accessible over time.
