Remove Discover button

Please allow us a setting to remove the discover button.  It should not be the right most icon. that needs to be reserved for the 3 dots "settings"  Whats the point in allowing us to customize the bar if you start forcing buttons? Lastly it auto activates this feature when just mouse over.  I do not find anything useful about the discover feature nor the sidebar as a whole.

    --disable-features=msUndersideButton This is now your best friend. Edit your shortcuts menu items ect to have this argument.

    My primary system is PopOS, i was able to edit all the .desktop files and add this. Now any time I launch Stable, Beta or Dev the discover button is gone!!!

      You can disable it by adding this registry key too

      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
      "HubsSidebarEnabled"=dword:00000000

        tistou that is true for windows users.  However on Linux which is what I use and Mac there is no registry to edit.
