When you visit the Google’s chatbot bard’s website in Microsoft Bing. A New Button pops up besides the search bar which lets you compare bard results with Bing chat’s. I have no idea why they implemented this, well maybe to show off the their chatbot is better than bard or something?

    Microsoft needs another good antitrust lawsuit. They’re so aggressive about pushing their products.

    I haven’t heard many other people complain about it so it was probably a very short term thing, but I’ll never forget when they updated windows defender to identify the chrome installer as highest-threat malware so that its download would be blocked, and if you forced the download windows would instantly delete the installer for your own protection.

        Alphabet, Microsoft, Meta. Pretty much all the big tech companies really need a visit from the FTC.

          How is Meta acting anti competitive? I am not defending them, just actually curious. For Microsoft, Alphabet and Apple it makes sense because they control the platforms.

    Not really one to defend Google, but Microsoft is out of line on this (and a lot of other stuff they do). Sadly our Congresspeople are pretty much owned by these corps and won’t do anything about it.

      You mean like when you visit a Google service (Gmail, Google, Maps …) on a non Chrome browser it bugs incessantly to switch?

      It’s pervasive and it stinks, but it’s not Microsoft. It’s our current capitalist gestalt.

      EDIT: I’ll be damned: It’s not on Google anymore … I either imagined it, or they removed their nagging. My bad. Thanks to the commenters who pointed it out.
