Edge won ZDNET’s comparison of three browser AI platforms, with the reviewer saying Copilot delivers the most satisfying overall experience.
Copilot stood out because it works across web pages, PDFs and all open tabs, and adds tools such as screen-aware Vision and AI tab organization.
Chrome finished as a strong alternative, using Gemini for page analysis, summaries and saved prompts, but the reviewer still checked source links for accuracy.
Firefox took a more privacy-focused approach, leaning on third-party chatbots and a Smart Window beta that keeps conversations stored locally on the device.
The review concluded that browser AI can speed search and browsing, but users still need to watch privacy settings and verify AI-generated answers.
