This feature leverages on-device artificial intelligence to help users find previously visited websites\u2014even when they can\u2019t recall the exact URL, site name, or keyword. The system is designed to recognize synonyms, phrases, and even typos, making it easier than ever to retrieve elusive browsing history<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">For example, if you remember visiting a site about \u201cMicrosoft Surface discounts\u201d but can\u2019t recall the exact name, a search for \u201cSurface deals\u201d or \u201cMicrosoft laptop sales\u201d could surface the correct result. The AI model processes your browsing history locally, ensuring that your data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to Microsoft servers<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"my-0\"><strong>Privacy and Control<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Microsoft has prioritized user privacy with this feature. The AI-powered history search is enabled by default, but users can easily disable it if they have concerns about AI analyzing their browsing data. Additionally, enterprise administrators can manage this feature through group policies, providing organizations with granular control over its deployment<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">This approach stands in contrast to previous Microsoft features like Recall, which faced criticism for capturing and storing extensive user activity. By keeping all processing on-device and not sending data to the cloud, Microsoft aims to alleviate privacy concerns while still delivering powerful search capabilities<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>Media Control Center: Streamlined Media Management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Alongside the AI history search, Microsoft Edge Beta now includes a media control center. This new hub allows users to manage multiple media sources from different websites in one convenient location. Whether you\u2019re watching videos, listening to music, or streaming content, the media control center provides quick access to playback controls, picture-in-picture mode, and casting options<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">The media control center icon appears to the right of the address bar whenever media is playing in Edge. Clicking it opens a panel where you can pause, play, skip, or cast content to other devices. This feature is especially useful for users who multitask across multiple tabs or windows, as it centralizes all media controls in a single, easy-to-access interface<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>Additional Feature Updates in Edge Beta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Microsoft Edge Beta continues to evolve with a range of new features and improvements:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"marker:text-textOff list-disc\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>Primary Work Profile as Default for External Links:<\/strong><br \/>\nFor enterprise users, Edge now defaults to opening external links with the Primary Work Profile (signed in with Microsoft Entra ID), streamlining workflows for business users<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>Enhanced Autofill Settings:<\/strong><br \/>\nA new consent toggle in Autofill settings allows users to control whether Edge collects web form field labels to improve Autofill suggestion accuracy. Only field labels are collected\u2014not user-entered data\u2014and everything is stored securely<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>Support for Sensitivity Labels in MIP Protected PDFs:<\/strong><br \/>\nEnterprise customers can now view sensitivity labels applied to Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) protected PDFs, helping them better manage and classify sensitive documents<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat Summarization in Context Menu:<\/strong><br \/>\nEdge is adding a Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat summarization option to the context menu, enabling users to quickly unpack and ask questions about the current page<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>Performance Notifications:<\/strong><br \/>\nEdge now provides clearer notifications when performance issues are detected, helping users identify and resolve slowdowns related to extensions or other factors<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>How to Access and Enable the New Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">To take advantage of these new features, users need to be running Microsoft Edge Beta version 138.0.3351.14 or later. The updates are being rolled out gradually, so not all users may see them immediately. If you don\u2019t see the new options, check back later as Microsoft continues its controlled rollout<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>To enable or disable AI-powered history search:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"marker:text-textOff list-decimal\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Open Microsoft Edge Beta.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Go to <code>edge:\/\/settings\/privacy<\/code> or look for a new toggle in the history section.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Find the option labeled \u201cEnhanced history search\u201d or \u201cAI-powered history search.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Toggle the feature on or off as desired. <strong>Note<\/strong>: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don&#8217;t see this feature in Microsoft Edge settings, check back as Microsoft continues to rollout the feature.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"my-0\"><strong>To use the media control center:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol class=\"marker:text-textOff list-decimal\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Play media (video or audio) in any tab.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Look for the media control center icon (a music note) to the right of the address bar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Click the icon to access playback controls and casting options.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>Privacy and Security Considerations<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Microsoft\u2019s focus on privacy is evident in the design of these new features. The AI-powered history search uses an on-device model, meaning your browsing data is processed locally and never shared with Microsoft or third parties<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span> This approach minimizes privacy risks and gives users greater control over their data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Enterprise administrators can further enhance security by disabling the feature via group policy, ensuring compliance with organizational data protection standards. The ability to disable the feature at both the user and admin levels provides flexibility and peace of mind for both individuals and businesses<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>Comparing Edge\u2019s AI Features to Competitors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Microsoft Edge is not the first browser to introduce AI-powered features, but its implementation stands out for its privacy-first approach. Unlike some cloud-based solutions, Edge\u2019s AI history search keeps all processing on-device, reducing the risk of data exposure. This is a significant advantage for privacy-conscious users and organizations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">The media control center, while similar to features found in Google Chrome, is integrated seamlessly into Edge\u2019s interface, offering a unified experience for managing media across multiple tabs and windows<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>User Feedback and Industry Reaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Early feedback from beta testers has been positive, with many users praising the convenience of the AI-powered history search and the centralized media controls. However, some users remain cautious about any AI feature that analyzes browsing history, even if it is processed locally. Microsoft\u2019s decision to make the feature optional and easy to disable has helped address these concerns<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-0\">Industry analysts note that Microsoft is taking a more measured approach with this feature compared to the controversial Recall feature, which was delayed due to privacy concerns. By focusing on on-device processing and user control, Microsoft is striving to balance innovation with privacy<span class=\"whitespace-nowrap\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-xs mt-5 text-base font-[500] first:mt-0 dark:font-[475]\"><strong>How to Stay Updated on Edge Beta Features<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"my-0\">For the latest information on Microsoft Edge Beta updates, users can visit the official Microsoft Edge release notes page.
