I have noticed this too while giving the new bing a try the last few days. It doesn't matter that you have an AI bot summarizing and answering questions about the search results if your search results are worthless anyway. I am back to google now, the search results aren't any better but at least it has a dark theme that won't burn my eyes and it doesn't try to get me to switch to Chrome at every chance like bing does with Edge.

I've also switched back to google after trying bing for a few days. The bing bot gets stuck and loses context after awhile. Not only do you get ads in bing to try edge, that if your using edge on Mac you'll get ads to buy a PC the whole time. Rather just use google/chrome seems less pushy.

Every single time I go to Google search it tries to make me switch to Chrome.

That's not my experience, but maybe it is my adblocker hiding the Chrome ads. You can't even use the chat feature in bing with firefox without spoofing the user agent.
