When Microsoft first launched Bing Chat a few months ago, the only way the chatbot AI service could be accessed by PC owners was by using the Edge web browser. A few days ago, Mikhail Parakhin, Microsoft’s head of Advertising and Web Services, stated that in June, the company would start experimenting with adding support for third-party browsers for Bing Chat.

Now that support is starting to show up for some users. A thread on the Bing Reddit page this weekend showed screenshots of Bing Chat working inside Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome browsers.

When we asked Parakhin about this thread on Twitter today, he did confirm this development, stating, "We are experimenting, will be rolling out gradually." As of this writing, he did not say what specific third-party browsers would be getting Bing Chat support.

The rest

Free users: Bing Chat is now called Copilot
Despite a close partnership worth billions, Microsoft and OpenAI continue to compete for the same customers seeking out AI assistants, and Microsoft is clearly trying to position Copilot as the option for consumers and businesses.

“Bing Chat and Bing Chat Enterprise will now simply become Copilot,” explains Colette Stallbaumer, general manager of Microsoft 365.

Paid subscribers: 'Microsoft 365 Copilot' is now 'Copilot for Microsoft 365'.
Microsoft is now pitching Copilot as the free version of its AI chatbot, with Copilot for Microsoft 365 (which used to be Microsoft 365 Copilot) as the paid option. The free version of Copilot will still be accessible in Bing and Windows, but it will also have its own dedicated domain over at copilot.microsoft.com — much like ChatGPT.

fwiw re Edge copilot: here's what I get ALWAYS, it says: "Ask me anything..." so I do, and instead of replying I get "Attempting to reconnect..." Stop Responding" But here I am still connected, never unconnected. Meanwhile I asked openai chatgpt 3.5 for a somewhat complicated excel conditional algorithm, and before I could blink chatgpt answered correctly.

You will need to troubleshoot this separately, there are many unknown factors that have not been shared to determine an actual cause of Copilot failing to work on your systems.
