Microsoft Edge Mobile Adds 6 AI Skills in Version 148 as Copilot Expands Across Tabs and History

Version 148 of Microsoft Edge for mobile brings six AI features that let Copilot work across open tabs, browsing history and current pages instead of handling one page at a time.
New additions include multi-tab summaries, Journeys that resurface past research topics, history-aware follow-up chats, AI-generated podcasts from a page or all open tabs, and Study and Learn quizzes.
The update also refreshes Edge's new tab page as the hub for Copilot prompts, saved site shortcuts and browsing-journey summaries, making the AI tools easier to access on iPhone and Android.
The rollout follows Microsoft's earlier move to fold advanced AI directly into Edge and retire Copilot Mode, signaling a broader push to make the browser itself the main interface for search and research.

With browsers becoming autonomous AI agents, are we prepared for the new wave of cyberattacks that will target them?
