Microsoft Relaunches Agentic Copilot Mode in Edge
25 Oct 2025- Microsoft relaunched agentic Copilot Mode in Edge—an Atlas‑like browsing assistant that reasons over tabs and acts for users—escalating competition and raising privacy and monetization concerns.
25 Oct 2025
Microsoft quietly relaunched Copilot Mode in Edge as a much more agentic browser experience that closely resembles OpenAI’s Atlas. With user permission, the updated Copilot “rides along” while you browse (reasoning over open tabs), traces connections between pages to summarize and compare information, and can take actions on your behalf — filling forms and booking hotels were called out as examples. TechCrunch and The Neuron note the relaunch looks strikingly similar to Atlas and that Copilot had earlier, opt‑in AI features since July.
The timing is notable: Microsoft’s announcement landed just two days after OpenAI demoed Atlas, signaling an intensifying AI browser race. The piece puts this in context with earlier agentic browsers (Dia, Perplexity, Comet) and notes Google has been adding Chrome AI features quietly as well — the industry is racing to embed assistants that hold context and perform tasks across the web.
Other items covered: OpenAI acquired Sky (a Mac AI interface), Anthropic and Google announced a cloud partnership giving Claude access to up to 1M Google TPUs and >1GW of compute by 2026, Claude’s automatic memory is rolling out to Pro users, and an AI gun detector falsely flagged a Doritos bag, causing a dangerous SWAT response. The newsletter argues agentic browsers could reshape ad gating and monetization, with browsers potentially becoming new gatekeepers for content and ads.
