the file that is missing is called HubApps, and it can be copied from any edge install, on windows it would be here:

AppData/Local/Microsoft/Edge/User Data/Default/HubApps

this file needs to be copied to:

flatpak version:

.var/app/com.microsoft.Edge/config/microsoft-edge/Default/

regular install:
.config/microsoft-edge/Default/

and restart edge, then copilot will work.

link to sample HubApps file

also might have to copy into other profiles if you have some

all of this info is above but unclear, ive also added a link to a copy of the file if you do not have a working install

As the link from above no longer works I've uploaded the hubapps file to my gdrive, feel free to grab it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1M6ecQqmCenX08OmPN7S2CoU64TDC3DCH/view?usp=sharing
