Dev Channel update to 111.0.1660.0 is live
Hello Insiders! Today, we are releasing another Dev build this week with version number 111.0.1660.0. This release includes mostly fixes and a new feature and policy. For more details on the changes,...
How do I disable or remove the discover button to the right of the ellipses?
- I love that this is the top comment. Give me the ability to remove this button. I open the sidebar when I need to, and Bing is already my search engine. I don't need an unremovable item in my toolbar, the profile icon was already one too many.
My address bar is approaching 50% of my screen width at 720p. - That's not it. It just opens up the discover feed by simply hovering and not even clicking the button. Hope it is just an oversight else it looks like a really insidious way to get users to drive traffic to the discover portal.
- That "oversight" has been in Canary as well. It's as if no one tested it at all.
BoydB you can use group policy to disable this by adding the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
DWORD: HubsSidebarEnabled
Value: 0
Then go to edge://policy and hit reload policy.

This needs to be a user facing setting, though.
Eric_E Also please bring back the flag to enable mica effects in the title bar!!!
- Thank you so much, this worked like a charm!
- it working wonder, thanks!!
- Thanks for this pointer. In my case I had to use the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge, but it worked.
+1 for this. Please remove the button (or give us the option to); If I wanted the Discover menu I'd turn it on myself.
- +1,实在不能忍受这个设置
