Comparing Products Across Tabs
- Jaeden opened multiple Amazon tabs for barbecues and asked Edge to find the cheapest one across tabs.

Privacy By Default With Opt-In Context
- Edge disables page-reading by default but provides a clear toggle to grant permission.
- Jaeden calls this a good balance between convenience and privacy control.
Product Judgement And Visual Robustness
- Jaeden tested qualitative judgments like 'highest quality' and even trick prompts about cooking lobster.
- Copilot correctly picked the expensive Blaze Prelude and justified it with build and feature details.
