This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable preload pages for faster browsing and searching in Copilot app web browsing on Windows 11.
The Microsoft Copilot app is your AI app for work. Copilot connects to the Microsoft 365 apps and content you use every day, creates polished documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, gets things done with Cowork, lets you choose between leading AI models, understands your job and company through Work IQ, and keeps your data protected.
When you sign in to Copilot, your experience adapts to your account: a licensed work-or-school experience with enterprise data protection, or a personal experience for individuals, with or without a Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium subscription.
Microsoft Copilot app now supports in-app browsing on Windows 11, allowing users to open websites side-by-side with chat. Users can manage tabs, toggle full-screen, or open links externally. Data is stored locally, similar to Edge.
Websites that Copilot shares in chat can open inside of the desktop app side by side with the Copilot chat conversation.
Copilot web browsing can use cookies to remember your preferences to preload pages you might visit in the background for faster browsing and searching, even if you don't visit those pages.
Here's How:
1 Open the Copilot app.
2 Open Copilot Chat settings.
3 Click/tap on Web browsing on the left side, and click/tap on System and performance. (see screenshot below)
4 Click/tap on Performance. (see screenshot below)
5 Under General settings, turn on or off (default) Preload pages for faster browsing and searching for what you want.
That's it,
Shawn Brink
