Bard, watch out! Google Chrome and Safari are getting Bing’s AI helper. As Windows Latest (via 9to5Google) was the first to notice, Microsoft is trying letting people use both browsers to access the tool.
“We are flighting access to Bing Chat in Safari and Chrome to select users as part of our testing on other browsers,” Caitlin Roulston, Microsoft’s director of communications, says in a statement to The Verge. “We are excited to expand access to even more users once our standard testing procedures are complete.”
At the moment, I can see New Bing Chat in Chrome but not in Safari, while some of my coworkers see the opposite. It looks like you can’t do everything with Bing Chat on Chrome and Safari, though. One difference is that you can only type 2,000-word questions instead of 4,000-word prompts when you use Bing Chat on Edge. Your talk with the chatbot will also start over after five turns instead of 30, and you’ll get annoying pop-ups that tell you to download Edge.
Microsoft has added a dark mode to Bing Chat as well as rolling out the feature to more browsers. You can switch to dark mode by clicking the bar menu in the top right corner of Bing Chat and then clicking Appearance > Dark or System Default. But it doesn’t look like this has been done everywhere yet. Even though some of my coworkers can see this choice, I still can’t see it.

Up until now, Microsoft’s robot was only available on Edge, which was a pain if you wanted to use it on a different browser. You can use Google’s Bard chatbot on computers other than Chrome, but when you use Bard on Edge, you’ll be asked to compare your answers to those on Bing.
