What is Enable Bing Chat?
"Enable Bing Chat" is a Firefox add-on that modifies the user-agent string sent with requests to bing.com to enable Bing Chat. It essentially tricks Bing into thinking the request is coming from Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox since Bing Chat is currently exclusive to the Microsoft Edge browser. Please note that any issues related to Bing Chat's functionality are not related to this add-on and require backend changes by Microsoft.
