Why did my 'Web browsing' option disappear? (topic curation)

ChatGPT Browse with Bing is a beta feature (available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers) that allows ChatGPT to search the internet to help answer questions that benefit from recent information. We have learned that the ChatGPT Browse beta can occasionally display content in ways we don’t want. For example, if a user specifically asks for a URL’s full text, it might inadvertently fulfill this request.

It seems like OpenAI is working against the paid users of ChatGPT Plus. This time they’re taking away Browsing, because it reads the content of a site that the user asks for? Please, that’s what I pay for Plus for. It’s not for the 3.5, but rather, for the measly 25 messages/3 hours.

Let’s say I needed it to read a certain repository or topic on GitHub or some forum where the language is foreign to me, now it can’t? You’ve got to be kidding me. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of deleting my old conversations yesterday and now the responses from ChatGPT 4 have worsened. It makes so many mistakes that even the 3.5 outperforms it in several areas.

I know that for those whose main currency is the dollar, $20 is nothing, but not everyone has that. I’m not complaining about the price per se, but 25 messages/3 hours, they run out with me trying to get GPT4 to get my questions right.

I know it’s no use complaining, because OpenAI is going to increasingly “castrate” ChatGPT 4 (I agree with the Free one) but there’s my rant.
