Microsoft Edge's Canary channel has introduced a revamped new tab page featuring Copilot AI assistant as its centerpiece. While not yet available to all users, the feature can be forcibly enabled for early testing.

Activation Guide

To enable "Copilot Search" on Edge Canary's new tab page:

1. Launch Microsoft Edge Canary and update to version 137.0.3281.0 or later
2. Navigate to edge://flags/#edge-ntp-composer and set to "Enabled"
3. Repeat for:
   • edge://flags/#edge-ntp-composer-chat-ranking
   • edge://flags/#edge-ntp-composer-focus
   • edge://flags/#edge-ntp-composer-use-copilot-search
4. Click "Restart" to apply changes

Once activated, the new tab page will display Copilot with three search modes:

• Default: Traditional URL/search bar behavior with Copilot suggestions
• Search and Navigate: Enhanced Copilot-powered search
• Chat: Direct Copilot chat interface
