The Bing AI experience may look the same in Edge, Chrome, and presumably Safari, but there are a couple of obstacles you’ll bump into with the non-Microsoft browsers.

Microsoft’s AI chatbot is finally wending its way to non-Microsoft browsers. Previously accessible only in Edge and the Bing mobile app, the feature is now popping up in Google Chrome for Windows and Apple’s Safari for MacOS, at least for some people. Powered by a custom version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, Bing AI lets you summon the bot to answer questions, provide information, and compose content.
In an emailed statement sent to TechCrunch, Microsoft confirmed the rollout of Bing AI chat to Chrome and Safari.
“We are flighting access to Bing Chat in Safari and Chrome to select users as part of our testing on other browsers,” said Caitlin Roulston, Microsoft director of communications. “We are excited to expand access to even more users once our standard testing procedures are complete.”
