Thanks for the downvotes. I need to search questions for an exam I have and I can't do that any other way. It helps me better search the net. I am sorry, it's good. I wish there was a FOSS alternative for it which does as good a job. So, here's how you use Bing Chat on Firefox https://pureinfotech.com/access-bing-chat-ai-chrome-firefox/#bing_chat_firefox

I know for a fact that this will cause problems, but I don't what kind of problems (I have experienced it once, but I rectified it by removing the settings that are mentioned above and I literally forgot about it) edit: Problem 1: Some websites won't load (not sure if it's related, but these websites have cloudfare "security" thing in them)

It was working until yesterday but it isn't now. It was a really nice tool to get better searches from the internet without doing it yourself. Now, I want to know if I am doing something wrong or if MS is shutting off Bing Chat for the infidels who don't use the holy edge browser. I remember this happening when MS first released Bing Chat. They probably let users use it on other browsers for a little while to make sure they become dependent on it.

I mean, we can modify firefox settings and make your browser look like edge, but I very vividly remember regret doing this because I faced a problem asap which was resolved by turning firefox settings back to normal (that one particular setting)

Yes, just switch your user agent with an extension.

I was using it till yesterday on Firefox. I have a lot of math questions and I can’t find answers to them if I don’t use Bing Chat. Unfortunately there is no FOSS alternative which can do this. I hear Mozilla is developing one, but I doubt if it would be able to hold a candle to Bing Chat

~~thank you! I need it constantly, so I ain't gonna install it, but yeah, I can see this being useful for others~~

turns out I need it too. Some websites ain't working well after I switched

Bing Chat is available only in Microsoft Edge. If your decision is to throw away your privacy and keep using Bing Chat, use Edge.

I'm not sure what your math questions are, but they might be answerable by WolframAlpha. it will sometimes even give you how a solution is worked out (if you pay, it will always do that).
