As promised, Microsoft added the new Bing AI Chat to Edge. The Bing Chat “Copilot” icon lives in the top right corner of the Edge browser window, and Microsoft annoyingly made it present by default. We’ll show you how to turn it off.
The Bing AI Chat button was added to Microsoft Edge 111. The update included the new “unearth” sidebar as well, which Microsoft also refers to as “Copilot with Bing Chat.” The sidebar and Copilot can now be easily turned off—that wasn’t the case at first.
How to eradicate the Bing Chat Copilot Button in Edge
The Copilot button can be removed from Edge by going to Settings > Sidebar > Copilot. Here’s what that looks admire:
First, click the three-dot menu icon in the top right corner and go to “Settings.”
Next, go to the “Sidebar” section.
Under the “App Specific Settings” section, select “Copilot.”
Simple toggle off “Show Copilot” and the button will disappear! If you don’t see this option, be sure to update Microsoft Edge.
