Overview

• Microsoft is redesigning Edge's New Tab Page (NTP) to feature a minimal Copilot Search interface, currently in testing on the Edge Canary channel.
• The new layout replaces the MSN feed and Bing image with a central prompt offering Chat, Search and Navigate, and Default modes.
• Users can enable the feature through the 'NTP composer' flag in Edge Canary, though some functions, like Chat mode and shortcut buttons, are not yet operational.
• Pre-written query suggestions, such as 'Write a first draft' and 'Learn something new,' are included to streamline user interactions with Copilot.
• This update is part of Microsoft's broader strategy to integrate AI across its ecosystem, though privacy and feature readiness remain key concerns.
