Microsoft Edge continues to integrate AI-powered features to enhance browsing productivity. One of these features is Copilot Journeys, which helps users track and revisit their browsing activities related to specific tasks. Copilot Journeys can organize your browsing sessions, making it easier to resume research or tasks you started earlier.
For example, if you were researching travel destinations or comparing products across several websites, Copilot Journeys can group those pages together so you can quickly continue where you left off. While this feature can be helpful, some users may prefer to disable it due to privacy concerns or to keep their browsing experience simpler.
If you want to turn on or off Copilot Journeys in Microsoft Edge, follow the steps below.
