Microsoft is planning a major overhaul of Edge. The browser is already functionally integrated with the Bing search engine and Microsoft’s AI offerings, including Copilot. Now, this connection is set to become more visually apparent.
New AI-Style Design
As reported by the online magazine “Windows Latest,” the Edge interface on Windows 11 is getting a comprehensive makeover. Initial screenshots show that the browser is visually aligning more closely with Microsoft’s AI applications. This includes the Copilot app and AI-driven search results in Bing.
The new design prominently features tiles with rounded corners. They display brief information and create a clean appearance with larger spacing between elements. This makes the interface look clearer and more modern. The changes affect not only the main view of the browser but also the settings.

Unified Design
With this adjustment, Microsoft aims to create a unified design across multiple applications. According to a support document, using Edge, Bing, and Copilot will offer a consistent appearance in the future. This will help users navigate the different applications more quickly, as design elements are repeated.

Criticism of Windows 11 Design
An inconsistent design is also frequently criticized in Windows 11. This mainly concerns older design elements that are still present in the system. Microsoft is therefore working to visually modernize or replace such areas, like the old recovery menu. These adjustments are part of a broader design overhaul. When exactly the new design for the Edge browser will be released is not yet known. Microsoft has not provided a specific timeline.
