Recently, Microsoft has been pushing artificial intelligence (AI) to its Edge browser. The company introduced ChatGTP support in Microsoft Edge earlier this year. “Because we know 64% of searches occur on mobile phones, we are releasing all new Bing and Edge mobile apps to serve as your copilot for the web even when you are away from your desktop,” Microsoft had said in a blog post.
