Microsoft Edge ‘Remix’ starts rolling out as users get it on stable builds

Last month, we highlighted a new ‘Web Remix’ feature being tested in Microsoft Edge. Now, it looks like that same feature is rolling out to users on the stable version of Edge. With the stable release, Microsoft also appears to have dropped the ‘Web’ part of the name. It’s now simply called ‘Remix.’

The new feature page for Remix went live recently, and it comes with a five-step walkthrough, a gallery of prompt ideas, and a bunch of ‘Try Remix’ buttons scattered around.

Remix lets you force dark mode on pretty much any site, summarize long articles, and even turn a recipe page into a shopping list. You click the Remix icon in the toolbar and either pick a quick appearance change or just type out what you want in plain words.

Microsoft’s page showing off the feature says you can “declutter an article, pull a recipe into a shopping list, or make a busy site easy to read.”

To use Remix, you need to go to Settings > Appearance > Toolbar and switch on Remix. If the option doesn’t show up, it means you’ll just have to wait for it to show up in the future.

Of course, all these changes happen on your browser itself. No one else can see what you’re creating with Remix on any website. And in case you feel like you botched something, you can always undo the changes with a quick refresh.

The idea of reshaping live pages with AI isn’t unique to Microsoft, either. We recently looked at an experimental browser called Mirage that uses Gemini to edit real web pages on the fly, so this is clearly a direction more than one company is chasing.

That said, it’s worth noting that Remix is still rolling out gradually. I don’t see the feature on my end yet on a Mac, but at least one Redditor confirmed that they’re seeing it on their Mac running a stable Edge build.

Microsoft’s own support page still describes it as a limited experiment in Edge Beta, and it needs a personal Microsoft account to work.

Still, it’s only a matter of time before the feature starts reaching more users on the stable version. We’ll keep an eye out for more details and will post an update if there’s something to share.
