Since its launch, Bing has been limited to Microsoft Edge, the Redmond browser, although it is true that since its introduction they have confirmed that its introduction to other browsers was among their plans (no date, yes). It was a very smart move, as it helped many users who were interested in Bing but not so much in the company’s browser to eventually embrace using both, which Edge did particularly well.

While the move to expand Edge usage was very smart at the time, could now become a problem for Bing’s success. Because? Because the Bard’s reach has grown exponentially in recent weeks. It is true that it is not yet possible to use the Google chatbot in the European Union, but its reach in the rest of the world is practically worldwide, and the interest it has aroused in these months is also very high.

In this way, restricting Bing exclusively to Microsoft Edge may be counterproductive to the interests of Microsoft, which of course continues to fight for online information search with Google, something that has been quite successful in recent months. So it’s time for those at Redmond to open up Bing to other browsers, because there really doesn’t seem to be any major technical limitations for it, especially if we’re talking about Chrome and other browsers based on Chrome, which is the same engine that Edge uses .

They must have thought the same, and according to what we can read in Windows Latest, Microsoft is already preparing to bring Bing to Chrome, Safari and other browsers. And it doesn’t seem like it would be necessary to wait too long. Preliminary tests seem to have gone well on various platforms (some users found that Bing was accessible from Safari for a few minutes and worked without issue), and as a result, according to an internal Microsoft source cited by the media, the rollout will take place in the coming days .

According to those who accessed these Bing tests in other browsers, the user experience is quite similar to what it provides in Edge, even in Safari, despite the fact that in this case we are talking about a browser that uses a different engine. However, we shouldn’t be surprised that it at least identifies which browser is being used and, if it’s one of the competitors, suggests that the user try Bing to get the full experience. It wouldn’t be the first time, would it?
