Microsoft Edge is getting an AI-powered browser history that works with typos

Microsoft is testing a new AI-powered browser history search feature in Microsoft Edge. This "enhanced search" function allows users to find websites in their history using phrases, synonyms, or typos. The feature, appearing in beta versions, uses an on-device model for privacy, ensuring data doesn't leave the device. Additionally, Microsoft is introducing a media control center for managing media sources and improving picture-in-picture controls within the Edge browser.

However, Google has not yet confirmed when this version will be available in the stable channel.

Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too

Microsoft Edge has been automatically opening with Chrome tabs for some users after a Windows update, even if the data import feature was disabled. This behavior has caused confusion among users who didn't expect Edge to override their default browser settings. Microsoft has a feature that imports data from other browsers and encourages users to enable it, but many have reported that the feature activates without their consent. These issues highlight the need for Microsoft to address the problem and improve transparency in its prompts and settings.
