Is there a ChatGPT app or program for Windows 11?
At this point in time, there isn't a proper ChatGPT app for Windows 10 or 11 but there is one in the works. Interestingly Apple and macOS are supposed to be getting an app before Windows which is hilarious considering how invested Microsoft is with OpenAi. Though there is probably a considerable amount of data collection and data sharing at play that benefits both companies.
What About Firefox? Can you Install ChatGPT as an app Using Firefox?
Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't support web apps anymore so the only way to install something as an app using Firefox is to download and install a third-party app that allows web app installation. There are a few options around but this one seems to be the most popular.
