Title: App opens my browser unexpectedly, page never loads

What happens: While using the Copilot app, it spontaneously opens my browser and appears to start loading something. I can't see what, the tab shows nothing, and no page ever renders. Then it just sits there with no result or error.

Frequency: Happens often.

Environment: Windows Edge

Notes to help diagnose: I'm not sure if this is an authentication/sign-in redirect, a link preview, or something else, the browser opens too fast to tell and lands blank. If the app is opening my browser, it would help if it were clear what it's opening and why.

Start by reproducing the issue from the app's /chat path on Windows 10.0.26200 with Edge using app version 1.0.13, and observe what triggers the blank browser tab. Done means identifying why the browser opens unexpectedly and ensuring the resulting page loads or presents a clear error.
