Support for Microsoft Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise is rolling out to Google Chrome users. The feature, which was initially only accessible in the company’s Edge browser, has now expanded to Chrome for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Microsoft recently announced the rollout of Chrome support for Bing Chat via a blog post. It is said that the feature will soon be extended to other browsers on desktop and mobile as well. The tech giant was spotted testing the feature in Google’s browser last month.
According to Microsoft’s blog post, there is support for Bing Chat on Chrome for desktop computers. Chrome users can now access Bing Chat on Windows, macOS, and Linux as long as Chrome is installed. With this new extension, Microsoft has made the feature accessible to more users: Chrome is said to have the highest browser market share.
In addition, the company has also expanded support for Bing Chat Enterprise on Edge for smartphones and on the desktop version of Google Chrome. According to the blog post, users with Bing Chat Enterprise enabled can open Microsoft Edge on their smartphone and sign in with their work account to access the feature.
In addition, the company has also introduced new Bing Search templates for specific topics by leveraging generative AI content. The new templates are said to prevent duplication of content and help users easily find answers to their questions. In addition, the Bing Chat integration is now also available on SwiftKey, allowing users to use the AI up to 30 times a day without logging in.
Last month, Microsoft was spotted testing support for the Bing AI chatbot for Chrome and Safari, with some limitations. At the time, Microsoft’s communications director Caitlin Roulston had stated, “We’re combating access to Bing Chat in Safari and Chrome to select users as part of our testing in other browsers.” Official confirmation of the availability of Bing Chat on Apple’s Safari browser has yet to be announced by the company.
