I recently switched to Bing after years of disappointment from Google and months of disappointment from DDG. Bing is pretty disappointing too, but less so, so far. I tried to use the chat feature a couple of days ago, but it said I have to download the app. Nah… fuck these tech companies and their apps.

The “preview” for the chat feature requires the app or edge on desktop currently but I do find myself turning to it every time I get frustrated with a google search these days.

Less disappointing is probably the best discrimination as you said.

I signed up for Kagi.com right after posting the above. I saw someone’s recommended here in this thread and said what the heck!

I use the ChatGPT feature from desktop Firefox with no problems. Maybe it specifically denies Chrome, in which case I bet you could change the user agent string and get it to work.

It denies mobile. I was using Firefox. Same as Reddit, anything to try to force an app download.
