Browse with Bing is Back (and disappearing again)!

I’m in the US and don’t have access, just for what that’s worth.

The feature is being “rolled out” to users. A roll out, as it’s name implies, is not an instantaneous process. It can take weeks for all users to be updated, please be patient.

This could all definitely be worded more clearly then - “can now browse” + “to try it out” even the CS agents I’ve chatted with have said “you have it you just need to do this to enable it” - and finally got someone to recognize that I indeed do not have it after sharing screenshots of the flow they told me I needed to follow to enable it. But I get it. Appreciate the response Foxabilo :v:

No browsing or plugins for the Plus user in Europe in Chrome… Really annoying.

This is helpful; thanks. It would have also been helpful for the announcement to have included this in the original message.

My hang up is that the support team repeatedly told me I DO have it, when I don’t. So it’s not just the user base confused here, it seems that the support team doesn’t know what happening either. Once I got them to realize and understand that I don’t have it via my view of the screenshots they shared to walk me through activating it, this was their response:

Hello,

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused due to the unavailability of the desired feature.

Please be assured that our engineering team has been informed and is diligently working to resolve the issue. We will maintain this ticket open and provide you with timely updates on the progress. The resolution might require some time, and we are grateful for your patience and understanding as we work towards enhancing your experience with our service.

Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to ensuring that your concerns are addressed promptly.

Which, again, to me, “Please be assured that our engineering team has been informed and is diligently working to resolve the issue” doesn’t indicate the same thing that “you just don’t have it yet, please be patient” would. Really frustrating experience overall, just ill communication all around.

That answer? You can imagine there’s someone having the top 4 matches for a user question pop up and picking one.

Like outsourcing “which is better” model training to WeWork Africans, except for customer service.

Don’t disagree at all. It’s basically a non-answer. Which adds to the confusion. :man_shrugging:


Two steps after renewing your Chat GPT Plus subscription

The API has not been enabled yet for anyone. You like anyone else can integrate your Azure call into your input I guess but that means two bills and a dijointed response and learning plugh and xyzzy to navigate Azure twisty little passages to find a curl and a golden :key: after trading your gold coins to the :dragon:. They offer a 200 dollar credit not sure if that works for bing search api.

So I am waiting hope to hear news at Dev Day San Francisco November Six Online Key Note Speech

I’ll be honest here - I have only a loose grasp on what you’re saying right now, but this is one of THE BEST responses I’ve ever seen on any forum, anywhere, ever. :heart:

I am a ChatGPT Plus user, and though I’ve enabled Browse with Bing under Beta settings, I’ve been unable to access the feature or reproduce the samples of the feature in the announcement.

Hmmm, this looked like good news as the removal of this feature a few months back was the reason I ceased pro and temporarily went elsewhere. I’d be more than happy to rejoin pro if I knew I could use this feature - can anyone else in the UK with Pro confirm if they’ve got it yet?

Question is when will API users be able to call this feature.

Azure doesn’t offer it either.

Bing search just returns a list of URLs
You have to go get the content
With the token limits you could maybe format one page that’s it

Clearly we see the plug-in making multiple calls and reading all the content
This would cost a fortune using the API even if you could read it all but you can’t you only can read half a page at a time

So still waiting to use this in the API

The feature is a must

This feature has just disappeared. Is it an unscheduled maintenance ?

still visible to me, so I’m guessing a refresh/reload should fix it

I also have the same issue. As of October 31, 2023, I found that the Browse with Bing option had disappeared. It is a plus member that I just opened today, using a VPN in Singapore and a billing address in the United States.

I aa Plus member, but yesterday the Bing view stopped working :frowning:

Hey, Plus user here. I cannot see “browse with Bing” as well on my computer, however, I can see it on ChatGPT app on iOS. Also when my friend logs into his Plus account on my computer, he sees the option. Really weird. Does anyone know what is happening? Located in EU the whole time.
