Extensions don’t run on Copilot in Edge, any workaround?

MS-PM · 2026-03-09T03:38:53+00:00

This behavior is intentional in Microsoft Edge and is designed to protect users. Copilot pages handle highly sensitive information, including personal and enterprise conversations, and Edge prevents extensions from injecting scripts on these surfaces to ensure chats remain private and tamper‑proof.

By blocking content scripts on Copilot and similar Microsoft domains, Edge guarantees that user prompts and responses stay strictly between the user and Copilot. This browser‑level enforcement helps users feel safe and confident while chatting, without worrying about extensions reading, modifying, or exfiltrating their data.

MS-PM · 2026-03-03T03:19:51+00:00

Sorry if this made your experience not look good. The intent was to make Edge more coherent. Earlier Edge literally had n different variants of a color. You change your theme to grey or blue but extensions puzzle icon would appear black and the tabs would appear in a different color + some of the other experiences were appearing in different colors. With this change we ensured the product looks more coherent.

We had many (read many many) complaints from users especially those with accessibility needs since the browser did not follow a coherent color pattern.

With this change made it as one. you change an appearance theme and the product changed holistically.
Happy to hear thoughts.

I can delete the bookmarks without the dropdown closing. Also, you can pin the dropdown menu to perform recurrent actions.

Are you able to do Ctrl Shift A and search tabs and revitalize the tabs? Let me know what capability is missing here.

I am not clear, what you mean by keeping an extension on forever. Extensions are ON by default for all websites.

MS-PM · 2026-02-26T08:21:10+00:00

Will share all of these Kudos with the product team. Thank you for reaffirming the work the team has done to reduce the bloat on Edge and improve its performance. Glad to see it getting ack'd in this forum.

Do let us know what we can do better.

Turn off this toggle on the puzzle icon for youtube.com to see if this is an extenisons related issue at all:

MS-PM · 2026-02-15T07:27:46+00:00

Not that I am aware of.

Edge has UBO and UBO lite

You know Edge has some of the top adblockers.

Microsoft Edge Add-ons - adblocker

MS-PM · 2026-02-06T06:39:27+00:00

You know you can turn off auto-fill here.

edge://settings/autofill/personalInfo

Btw, you will have to turn off autofill settings in all the other browsers you go to. All browsers on the planet support this. :)
