Microsoft is all set to replace the current NTP (New Tab Page) with a new Copilot Search in Bing page. The current default page is an image pulled from Bing alongside the Search, Weather info, and MSN news, which has been the default for a long time. The feature is currently in testing phases and is only available on Edge Canary as flag. As mentioned earlier, it appears to be powered by the Copilot Search in Bing. It was announced in a recent Microsoft event that the firm held on its 50th anniversary. The new window is quite minimal compared to the traditional homepage, which was quite cluttered. The page contains text “How can I help you today” followed by an option to change the search intent to just Chat or Search and Navigate.
