Show Copilot ✨

English | 中文

Tiny Python helper that nudges Microsoft Edge into Copilot mode by patching your local profile data—no browser flags required.

✅ Requirements

• Python 3.13+ (see .python-version / pyproject.toml)
• Microsoft Edge installed (Stable/Canary/Dev/Beta)

⚡️ Quick Start (uv)

1. Install uv (once, PowerShell): irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex (see uv docs for other shells).
2. Install deps (creates venv automatically): uv sync.
3. Run the script: uv run main.py.
4. Edge will close while patching; after it restarts, press Enter to finish.

⚡️ Quick Start (pip)

1. Create and activate a venv.
2. Install deps: python -m pip install psutil.
3. Run: python main.py.

🔧 What Happens

• Finds Edge user data for Stable/Canary/Dev/Beta on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Kills top-level Edge processes to avoid file locks, then brings them back.
• Sets variations_country: "US" in Local State.
• Sets browser.chat_ip_eligibility_status: true in every profile Preferences (Default and Profile X folders).
• Restarts any Edge builds that were running before the patch.

⚠️ Caveats / Known Limitations

• The script expects User Data/Local State to exist and contain variations_country; if it’s missing, the run can fail (launch Edge once to generate it).
• Edge restart only happens if the executable path can be detected from running processes.
• On macOS, process detection is name-based (Microsoft Edge*) and may terminate more than just the “top-level” app process.
• On Linux, process detection expects an executable name of msedge; if your build uses a different name, Edge may not be closed (and files may remain locked).

🛟 Notes

• The script writes to your existing Edge profile; back up User Data if you want a safety net.
• Run as the same OS user who owns the Edge profile to ensure write access.
• Not affiliated with Microsoft—use at your own risk.
