We live and work in browsers. It's where we spend most of our time — and it's where we waste most of our time as well. Web browsing is slow, inefficient, and full of time-sapping annoyances.
But it needn't be that way. You can turn your browser into a lean, mean productivity machine. To do it, just follow these tips for Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 or 11. You'll learn how to switch between home and work profiles, put idle tabs to sleep to speed up your PC, tap into the power of Microsoft's Copilot AI assistant, and more.
(Note that these tips are written for the most recently updated version of Edge in Windows 11 25H2 and Windows 10 22H2. Things may be slightly different if you use a different Windows version, and not all of these features are available for Edge on macOS or other platforms.)
So let's get started — time's a-wasting, and so is your productivity.
1. Switch between work and personal profiles
With remote and hybrid work models now common, many people use the same device for work and personal use. When it comes to using a web browser, that can quickly become problematic.
Mixing work and personal favorites makes it far more difficult to quickly get to important work websites or personal websites. When you're working, you don't want to wade through hundreds of links to family photos, vacation destinations, and YouTube videos of cats befriending parrots when you're just lookin

A prominent Norwegian AI researcher on Tuesday posted details about an AI worm that is wreaking havoc in various Microsoft applications, including Word and Copilot.
The report from noted Norwegian AI researcher Håkon Måløy, now confirmed by Microsoft, said that an attacker can conceal instructions in a document that is later used as source material for Copilot-generated or Copilot-edited Word documents, for example, as input to a financial report. Those malicious instructions could potentially alter figures in the document being created. They then copy themselves into the new document, causing it to become a carrier of the attack when used in another Copilot-assisted workflow.
Måløy noted: "To my knowledge, this is among the first public demonstrations of document-borne AI-worm self-propagation through normal workflows in a mainstream commercial productivity suite."
Microsoft on Thursday emailed a statement to CSOonline discussing the report's revelations.
"We have addressed the findings reported by the researcher and thank them for working with us through coordinated vulnerability disclosure. To address this class of risk, we use a defense-in-depth strategy with safeguards that block malicious instructions at multiple points and help keep tasks aligned with users' re

 The touchscreen and the OLED panel have dominated discussion about Apple's next high-end laptop, but the redesign wrapped around them may prove to be an equally consequential change, largely because it is not expected to stay unique to the machine for long.

Usually available for $1,370 at Best Buy, this $320-off laptop has everything you could need — a gorgeous display, a powerful CPU, plenty of storage space, and a top-notch graphics card. Frankly, you can't go wrong by getting this laptop.
For starters, the HP Victus has a 15.6-inch IPS display with a decent 1920×1080 resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. This combo will deliver good visuals no matter if you're watching movies or playing games. That speedy refresh rate, however, is going to ensure you can't blame a slow screen on your lack of reaction time during boss fights.
Overall, this laptop was built for speed. With an Intel Core i7 and 16GB DDR5 RAM, this model is ready to tackle your daily workload, gaming, and keeping entirely too many tabs open in your browser. Throw in the RTX 5060 and you get a future-proof laptop — at least for a few years.
Frankly, when you see a laptop with these specs for $1,050 the only possible reaction is to add it to your cart because that's a purchase you won't regret.
That's a fantastic price for a great gaming laptop

Now that Apple has opened up choice to third-party browsers as part of its efforts to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act, we can expect a new focus on browser market share in the near future.
Third-party browsers have been supported in iOS since version 14. What's changed is that Apple must now offer EU users a choice of which browser becomes the default when they use their device. Apple clearly didn't want to do this as WebKit (which drives Safari) is fundamental to many of the technologies and solutions the company packs inside its iPhones. (I think it's likely to stay that way.)
