Microsoft Edge tests Web Remix using Copilot to customize websites

Microsoft is testing a new Copilot feature in Edge Canary called “Web Remix” that lets users customize how websites appear in their browser. We spotted it in today’s Canary update.

We tested it directly on windowsreport.com. Edge shows a Remix icon in the toolbar that opens the “Create a Remix” panel, with “Appearance” and “Custom” options. Appearance offers a color wheel for the page’s color scheme, a light/dark toggle, a text size stepper, and a grid of font previews.

A Remix can be applied to an entire domain or to individual pages. We switched the page to light mode from dark and changed the font, and both changes applied instantly to the live page in our browser.

Custom works differently. Instead of preset controls, you describe the change in plain English, for example, “a button that scrolls to the top,” and Copilot generates the modification. We tried this exact prompt during testing.

After adding the scroll-to-top button described above, the same panel listed both “Change page theme” and “Add Scroll-to-Top Button” as separate entries for the site, each with its own toggle, rather than one replacing the other.

These changes exist only locally. Other visitors still see the normal site, and opening the page in another profile shows no trace of the remix.

After you create a remix, the panel switches to a management view with toggles to turn each customization on or off. The three-dot menu next to each one lets you choose whether the remix is always active or only runs when clicked, apply it to the current page or the entire site, or delete it altogether.

To generate a “Custom Remix”, Copilot uses your prompt, the active tab’s URL, and the page content. Edge tells users not to enter confidential or sensitive information they wouldn’t want factored into a remix.

The feature is experimental. Microsoft warns that remixed pages can be inaccurate or unstable and that users can remove customizations from the Remix menu or turn the feature off in Settings. Enabling Custom Remix also requires accepting the Copilot Terms of Use.

The Web Remix feature is hidden behind the #edge-remix flag in Edge Canary. Enable it and restart the browser to try the feature.
