How to Connect ChatGPT to the Internet
OpenAI has finally re-enabled Bing Search on ChatGPT, making it easier to connect ChatGPT to the internet. Earlier, the “Browse with Bing” feature was showing content from paywalled sites, hence, OpenAI had removed it from ChatGPT. But now, you have four different ways, including thebest ChatGPT Plugins, Chrome extensions, & an alternative, to overcome the January 2022 knowledge cut-off. These methods allow you to access the internet and access the latest information on any subject, making ChatGPT even more useful. So on that note, let’s learn how to connect ChatGPT to the internet using four simple methods.
1. Connect ChatGPT to the Internet via ‘Browse with Bing’
After months of bug fixing, OpenAI has finally brought the native “Browse with Bing” option back to ChatGPT. You can now browse the internet on ChatGPT without having to rely on any third-party plugins. Basically, you are no longer constrained by ChatGPT’s January 2022 knowledge cut-off. That said, keep in mind that you must be subscribed to ChatGPT Plus, which costs $20 per month, to use this feature. And here is how it works:
-
First of all, launch ChatGPT (visit) and click on “Settings” in the bottom-left corner.
-
Next, go to “Beta features” and enable the “Browse with Bing” toggle.
-
Now, move to the “GPT-4” model and choose “Browse with Bing” from the drop-down menu.
-
Finally, go ahead and ask questions on any topic, and it will bring you all thelatest developmentson that subject from the internet.
2. Browse the Web on ChatGPT Using KeyMate.AI Search Plugin (Paid)
Note: There are many ChatGPT plugins that offer internet connectivity on ChatGPT. However, KeyMate.AI Search performs much better and combines results from various sources. Other plugins like WebPilot, MixerBox WebSearch, Link Reader, etc. that we tested failed to fetch details from multiple sources. That said, the only con of the KeyMate.AI search plugin is that it adds a sponsored link at the end of the responses, but that’s about it.
3. Connect ChatGPT to Internet Using WebChatGPT Extension (Free)
If you are looking for a free and simple solution to connect ChatGPT to the internet, you can rely on one of thebest ChatGPT Chrome extensions. Called the WebChatGPT Chrome extension, it expands the functionality of OpenAI’s chatbot, and here’s how:
4. Use ChatGPT with Internet Access on Microsoft Bing Chat
We all know that Microsoft’s Bing Chat is powered by the GPT-4 model from OpenAI. And thankfully, Bing Chat has access to the internet without any restrictions. Additionally, Bing Chat sources its results from the Bing search engine, unlike most plugins and extensions which are powered by the Google Search API.
Best of all, Microsoft has opened access to Bing Chat on every browser, including Chrome and Firefox. So if you use Bing over Google, go ahead anduse Bing Chat on any browserwith internet access.
