GitHub Copilot Browser Tools Now GA in VS Code

GitHub has made browser tools for Copilot agents in VS Code generally available. This means agents can now open web pages, click, type, and read console output and screenshots directly inside the editor. This feature rolled out by default, allowing agents to verify UI changes without developers switching to a browser for manual testing. Developers' own tabs remain private until explicitly shared, and agent-opened tabs run in isolated sessions without access to existing cookies. Enterprise administrators also have a dedicated on/off toggle and network domain controls. This update raises the baseline expectation for coding agents, as competing tools also offer similar browser-driving capabilities.
