Microsoft integrates side-by-side web browsing into Copilot

According to cnBeta, Microsoft has integrated side-by-side web browsing into Copilot, adding a parallel web browsing area in the UI so users can browse internet content while conversing with Copilot. The update aims to reduce steps in searching, reading, and summarizing, enabling Copilot to read articles, extract highlights, compare pages, and generate summaries while the page is visible. This marks Copilot’s evolution from a chat window to an information processing platform integrated with the Windows ecosystem.
