Microsoft Edge: How to Disable the Bing Button

Microsoft has been working hard to improve Edge with a slew of new features. Bing AI is now integrated into Microsoft Edge’s search results, and it is also available on the web browser. This should make the browser smarter and eventually lead to consumers preferring the built-in Windows browser.

Microsoft has placed a large Bing button in the upper right corner of the Edge Browser, which many people dislike. Indeed, the browser is now integrated with AI to improve performance and give better search results. Making the Bing button large in the top right corner of the browser, on the other hand, does not sit well with everyone. Hence, if you want to remove the Bing button from the Edge, follow our instructions.
