I'd use Bing's chat feature if it wasn't only available on Edge... I can't seem to get any Chromium browsers working well on my Fedora install. I already want to use Microsoft's search engine, why do they need me to use their browser too?

There are addons/extensions for that!

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bing-chat-for...

Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bing-chat-for-all-...

Last I checked you can just use a user agent switcher plugin to say you're using bing FYI.

That's exactly what this is doing, but only on the bing.com domain

Didn't realized that. My currently employer is MS-stack based so I have been working with Edge and to be fair, this was also surprising. I would probably rather work with Firefox but the browser is not that intrusive and provide the same level of support and tooling I get with FF. I think one the reasons I decided to stick with Edge these last few weeks is the extremely poor support I get when working with the SharePoint implementations that are for internal use, seems to be a issue with the way FF interacts with Windows Authentication.

Blind advice: it may be related to kerberos authentication. Firefox needs to whitelist the domains against which kerberos authentication can be performed.

You may try configure network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris and network.negotiate-auth.delegation-uris

There's a plugin for both chrome and firefox that allow chat to work within.

They both work for me at least on MacOS and Windows; haven't tried any linux distos yet, but worth a look.

When MS switches on bing chat on chrome it will be a huge blow to google

Doubt it. Not enough people even know about it or will discover it to be a "huge blow" to google

There’s an extension that enables it for all browsers
