Third-Party Browser Support: With so many new, useful features now a part of Bing, we’re excited to announce you can start experiencing the new AI-powered Bing in third-party browsers on web and mobile soon. This next step in the journey allows Bing to showcase the incredible value of summarized answers, image creation and more, to a broader array of people.

Microsoft Shopping already helps you save time and money with tools across Bing, Edge, Microsoft Start, and Outlook.
