Vivaldi is a very good browser for both desktop and Android. It’s fast, stable, and based on Chromium (like Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge). However, in the last few years some websites have experienced problems due to browser detection by these sites and therefore Vivaldi began to “camouflage”.

Now after impersonating Google Chrome to improve compatibility on both desktop and Android Vivaldi updated to support Bing Chat with GPT-4. Like? Making the chatbot believe it’s Microsoft Edge and not another browser.

Vivaldi 6.1 disguised as Microsoft Edge to enter Bing Chat

You may not know, but there are sites that discriminate based on the browser. Have you ever heard that Netflix is ​​slower at startup depending on your home phone company? Well, something similar happens in browsers.

Chrome and Edge are the most common and have the least limitations, however, there are websites that interrupt functionality or experience in some browsers for security, compatibility, or alleged reasons. That was the case with Vivaldi and as they announced on their website, they are now releasing a new version that acts like Edge.

Vivaldi 6.1 comes with various new features for both desktop and Androidlike new workspaces or more flexibility in managing tabs, but the most important thing is the mask it puts on to trick Bing into thinking we’re accessing it from Microsoft Edge.

But, Although you can use Bing chat and its functionality is the same as in Edge The experience when starting a conversation with a chatbot is not the same as in the Edge app, as the language model is the same for everyone, or on other platforms.

And in Edge we always see a button in the bottom center that allows us to quickly access the chat to ask Bing anything. Oh good, Those who use Vivaldi or browsers like it are precisely because they want to avoid Google or Microsoft. And the cool thing is that developers have a habit of ‘skipping’ to bypass detection of the installed browser and allow users to access features that would otherwise be unavailable.
