Chrome and Safari seem to be the first browsers to have access to Bing Chat
Bing Chat appeared to be functioning properly on Chrome and Safari in screenshots posted over the weekend on Bing’s Reddit page. The president of Microsoft’s advertising and web services division, Mikhail Parakhin, was questioned about the post on Twitter and confirmed the information. He also said that the company is presently running tests and introducing the functionality gradually. The particular third-party browsers that will support Bing Chat are unknown according to Parakhin.
Microsoft hopes to expand Bing Chat’s user base by extending its compatibility to additional browsers. The most recent StatCounter figures show that Edge is presently in third place among browsers with a market share of 9.91%. In contrast, Google Chrome holds a commanding 66.02% market share, while Apple Safari takes second place with 12.79%.
Microsoft is expected to set a cap on the number of Bing Chat users during the testing phase in order to ensure optimal performance.
With this strategy, the business will be able to acquire important information and decide with confidence whether to broaden the feature’s appeal. Additionally, Microsoft recently verified an increase in the maximum number of rounds per session from 20 to 30, as well as an increase in the upper limits for daily conversation rounds from 200 to 300. Additionally, the addition of Precision Mode and Balanced Mode has expanded the use of Bing Image Creator while improving Bing Chat’s functionality.
