Browser tools for GitHub Copilot in VS Code are now generally available. Agents can now drive a real browser, navigate live web apps, and feed what they find back into the chat. Browser tools are on by default with general availability, shaped by feedback from preview users.

What agents do in the browser

Under the hood, agents get the same browser actions a developer would use. They can:

Open pages and navigate, click, type, hover, drag, and handle dialogs.

Read page content, capture console errors, and take screenshots.
