Microsoft Edge is turning into AI browser with new Copilot Mode by Taras Buria Microsoft Edge is getting a new experimental Copilot Mode, a special mode that uses the power of AI to upgrade your browsing experience with advanced features, multi-tab context, and other features. Copilot Mode starts with a redesigned and simplified new tab page (users spotted the first version of Copilot as a new tab page a few months ago). It only has a Copilot composer, which combines the classic chat experience with web search and navigation. When browsing, Copilot is available in the address bar, and when clicked, it shows up as a dynamic pane without obstructing the original web page. Microsoft says that you can use it to declutter the web page, convert data, and cut right to the chase, say, when you read a recipe with a ten-page-long introduction. Copilot Mode also supports multi-tab context. With your permission, it can see all of your tabs and understand the context of your browsing. This eliminates the need for frequent tab switching, especially when you deal with dozens of tabs at once. Microsoft is also working on letting Copilot tap into your history and credentials so that it can better understand context and perform actions on your behalf, like booking reservations or performing other tasks. You can type your request into the composer or interact with the assistant using your voice. Finally, Copilot Mode will make it easier for you to jump back into the previous topics. Copilot Mode will offer you topic-based "journeys" with additional suggestions for what to do next. With tools like this, privacy could be a big concern for many users. As such, Microsoft assures that users will always be able to determine whether Copilot Mode is on or off with distinct visual cues. The feature is also optional, and you can toggle it on or off at any moment and continue using Edge in standard mode. Copilot Mode is now available on Windows and macOS as an experiment in all markets where Copilot is available. For now, this experience is free for all who want to opt in, which suggests that Copilot Mode could become a premium feature. You can try Copilot Mode by heading to this link. -

PlayStation's first wireless fight stick faces long wait, launching in 2026 by Paul Hill Sony has unveiled the FlexStrike wireless fight stick previously known as Project Defiant. Its unveiling marks the PlayStation’s first-ever proprietary fight stick controller. Unfortunately for anyone hoping to get their hands on it soon, Sony won’t be releasing it until 2026, creating a significant wait for eager fighting game fans. Though its release is still some time away, a display unit will be shown off at Evo 2025 (August 1-3). Sony notes that this displayed version of the FlexStrike may not represent the final product. As a bit of background, PlayStation gamers can already get third-party fight sticks, this marks Sony's first official entry into the market. The FlexStrike will be compatible with PS5 and PC via wired connection or wirelessly with PlayStation Link. It features mechanical switch buttons and toolless swappable restrictor gates (square, circle, octagon) with built-in storage. You can also use simultaneous PlayStation Link audio for connecting FlexStrike and a Pulse headset/earbuds on PS5 with a single USB adapter. Sony also mentions that there will be support for two FlexStrike sticks via a single PS Link USB adapter for local multiplayer and includes all DualSense Controller inputs (except directional pad via lever and mute button), plus a touchpad. The controls are adjustable with a built-in level mode switch and a lock button to prevent accidental inputs. So that it’s comfortable to use, Sony has opted for an ergonomic design with angled surfaces and a non-slip base. While we know from Sony that the FlexStrike wireless fight stick is confirmed for a 2026 release, we do not know which day or month to expect it on. Such a late entry into this market means that Sony will have already lost customers who have already invested in fight sticks from other manufacturers. For more information, keep your eyes peeled to Evo 2025 to see what Sony reveals. The company also recommends signing up for news updates on its official FlexStrike website.
