  • Edge Bing chat toolbar reads browser content - security breach?
    An interesting observation is that bing.com already has the "work" link that allows bing to search your company's M365 collateral. In fact many searches on bing.com blend corporate and public results. Its very nice and I'm sure that it's two search mechanisms blending their results. My hope is that similar can be said for the two chat bots. - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago
  • MS Rewards support keeps ignoring me
    My streak was lost that day, but I have full faith that it will be restored, just as it was the last time this occurred.

  • Does the extension have access to websites even after access is limited?
    So, I've set website access to specific sites. One website I've given access to is bing.com. If I navigate to a website which I haven't given access to from bing.com the extension icon still shows some elements are being blocked even though the ads are not blocked. - Source: Reddit / 19 days ago

  • Bing Chat for Opera GX (guide or smth)
    Well, I recently got access to new Bing and wanted to put it in Opera GX, but bing.com goes to the old Bing. At the same time in Chrome everything runs without any problems. From Bing Chat itself I managed to find out that a spoofer could help me (an extension to change the user-agent so that my browser would be perceived as Edge). But NONE of the extensions worked for Bing ¯ \ _ (ツ) _ / ¯ . - Source: Reddit / 27 days ago

    It gave me buttons I could hit, one of them being "How do you find information?". It started to respond and then quickly got the "Sorry, I don’t know how to discuss this topic.

  • Apparently Bing can use Google as a search engine
    Probably first search attempt failed for technical reasons, but second succeed, it does refers to bing.com as first result in answer so part about using other search engine is hallucination, but I think it should be reported to M$ as the bot promotes google that way . - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago
