How can I disable "Discover"`?
Hello, - I can't disable it in the sidebar - I can't remove the icon from the search-/icon bar. - I can't remove it from the symbol bar - I can't find any setting for this So, how I can remove/d...
Microsoft Cares enough to have added the ability to disable Discover in Edge. They introduced this in Canary (daily builds), it has not made it's way to: Dev, Beta or General Availability
Edge Canary Version 113.0.1742.0
Settings/Sidebar/Discover
Which is great, don't get me wrong. But this is how it should have been introduced. Forcing a feature, that still months later does have an generally available disable is* a dealbreaker for me.
I don't see anything about their pipeline changing, to where this won't happen again. Again for me, it just feels like this is just expected now with edge. Which I'd rather use another browser than deal with it.
- I'll never fault any software developer/development group for adding features. It would be foolish of them not to do so.
Sounds like the deal has been broken for you and you've moved on from Edge. That's your choice.- There is a big difference in 'adding features' and 'adding features'. There are many many instances where less is more. Regardless, I do think this situation was handled poorly.
- I think their handling of the situation is just fine. They have responded to user input and implemented a solution. Kudos to them for doing so.
