Microsoft Tests Copilot-Inspired Edge Redesign in Canary and Dev

The trial signals Microsoft’s push to evolve Edge into a more AI‑centric experience rather than build a separate browser.

Overview

  • Early preview builds show a Copilot-style settings page, refreshed context menus, and a redesigned new tab page.
  • Visual tweaks include rounder corners plus colors and typography that match the Copilot app’s design language.
  • The updated interface is rolling out to a subset of Canary and Dev users in waves, with wider availability expected after further testing.
  • Microsoft says the refreshed look is separate from Copilot Mode, indicating a broader UI shift rather than a feature toggle.
  • Similar styling is being tested on Copilot Discover, suggesting the Copilot design may extend across Microsoft’s web properties.
