Finally there seems to be some competition in the world of browsers and search engines. This is no more about popurity, it is now about who does it better. All thanks to OpenAI’s ChatGPT for drawing this battle line. At the end of it all, we the end users enjoy the benefits of good products.
Even though ChatGPT drew the battle line, the real fight is gradually shifting between Microsoft and Google. Both tech giants have their own search engines and browsers as well.
A few days ago, Google launched an AI tool that is believed to be a direct response to ChatGPT. Google calls its new AI ‘Bard’. Today, Microsoft also launched a new Edge browser which is powered by ChatGPT. Microsoft says that the new Edge Browser is going to bring a new revolution in search and browsing experience.
Microsoft surprisingly announced an AI Event earlier on. The event will hold at the company’s headquarters in Redmond.

Gizchina News of the week
According to DigitalTrends Microsoft has replaced certain areas of the Edge Browser with AI tools. This will equip the browser with enough power to handle natural language questions. Reports claim that Microsoft describes this new AI integration as “Your AI copilot for the web”.
According to Microsoft, half of all search results aren’t solved by traditional results. Especially when there is a complex question with multiple components. But the company believes that Bing’s new upgrade which is powered by ChatGPT is capable of doing more. It says the new Edge Browser can deliver the true results users are looking for, with relevant results and annotated answers. 
At the event, Microsoft gave the audience a glimpse of how the new AI powered Bing search engine works. It is reported that Bing gathers information from search results and throws them together as one content.
With this AI, reports have claimed that users can also dive deeper into the conversation. For example, if you ask for the best ten smartphones, you can dive deeper by asking the AI to present the best Android smartphones among the list.
As for the new Microsoft Edge Browser, Microsoft has redesigned the interface to look more like the Windows 11 interface. From the new interface, there is a sidebar which does quite a lot. Reports suggest that the sidebar can be able to write summary, link documents and show a comparison of data between different pages.
How to Try the New Microsoft Edge Browser and Bing
Microsoft also disclosed that the new Edge Browser and Bing were available for trying purposes. To try the new Bing, you can go to bing.com/new. This trial however has a limited time frame. You may also have to sign up on the waitlist in order to give it a try.
