How to control website browsing with Copilot on Edge

Microsoft Edge on Windows 11 now integrates browsing with Copilot, allowing AI Copilot to assist users with tasks on websites such as clicking, navigating, or filling in information. To enhance privacy and security, Microsoft has added a setting to list the websites that Copilot is allowed or prohibited from accessing.
