Microsoft Edge 126 arrives with AI-generated themes and improved security


Microsoft has released Edge 126 update that adds AI-generated themes and site summaries in reading mode

A Microsoft released update 126 for the stable version of Edge with new features, such as an AI theme builder and page summary via Co-pilot. In this way, the browser promises to facilitate customization and daily use for both professionals and casual users.



Themes customized by artificial intelligence

The main new feature of Microsoft Edge 126 is the ability to use AI text commands to generate unique and personalized images the way you want. From there, the content can be used as elegant themes in the browser.

According to the update’s changelog, “applying the theme includes setting the generated image in the new Edge tab and applying the image’s dominant color to the browser frame.” However, the feature will be released little by little, and not everyone who updates Edge will get it right away.

The AI ​​summarizes the pages for you

The new version of the browser also features a feature called “Copilot Summary Notification”, which allows the AI ​​to create a summary of the website when the user opens the application’s reading mode: the page must be qualified to use the feature on Edge.

This is relatively similar to what Google Gemini does research with overview of artificial intelligence. This news also arrives gradually for those who update their browser.

Greater security control

Still in preview, the Edge Management service has begun to offer an experience dedicated to managing specific settings and improving the security levels of the app: this option is aimed at administrators.

Furthermore, according to the Redmond company, version 126 of Edge fixes several bugs and improves the application’s performance.
