When Microsoft first introduced Bing Chat based on ChatGPT a few months ago, access to the chatbot was only available through the Edge web browser. However, with subsequent updates, Microsoft first brought the new Bing to mobile, Windows 11 and SwiftKey. A few days ago, Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s Head of Advertising and Web Services, stated in June that the company will begin experimenting with adding support for Bing Chat to third-party browsers.Bing’s AI is coming to other browsers
It looks like Microsoft is acting fast on this one. Because this support has already started to appear for some users. In a thread opened this weekend on the Bing Reddit page, screenshots were shared showing that Bing Chat works in Safari and Chrome browsers. Parakhin said on his Twitter account, “We are experimenting, it will be rolled out gradually”.On the other hand, the addition of other browsers for Bing Chat will give Microsoft a much larger audience. According to the latest figures from StatCounter, Edge is the third most used browser with 9.91 percent. Google Chrome is still number one at 66.02 percent, and Apple Safari is by far second at 12.79 percent.
That’s not the only important thing Microsoft has done to popularize the use of Bing Chat. Recently, the daily chat session has been increased from 200 to 300 and the number of requests per session has been increased from 20 to 30. It also brought the use of Bing Image Creator in Bing Chat to Precision and Balanced modes in addition to Creative mode. Bing Image Creator is one of the simplest options available for those who want to produce images with artificial intelligence.
