New Bing button in toolbar is neither clickable nor removable
It's always disabled for me, and right clicking this button doesn't show a context menu which let me hide the button. It's basically meaningless.

If you're on MacOS, it's a known issue that the button becomes unusable if you enter full-screen mode; myself and a lot of other users are experiencing the same problem. Best workaround I've found is to not be in 'true' full screen, but rather to hold Option as you click the green maximise button, which will make the window zoom to take up the whole screen, but the system won't count it as being in "full-screen", which should make the button usable. Hope this helps.
- CarterLiMar 15, 2023Copper ContributorYes I'm on macOS. I just want to remove the button. How can I do that?
- chxrlotte_xoMar 15, 2023Iron ContributorAh OK. I personally don't know how to do it, but there is detailed instructions here I think. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/disabling-the-bing-discovery-button-on-macos/m-p/3767724
- CarterLiMar 16, 2023Copper ContributorI tried it and it didn't work for me.
I will switch to Chrome before Microsoft adds a setting to hide the button
