Edge sidebar button

Question

Looks like the sidebar button is forced on Edge 121.0.2277.128. Pic attached.

Anyone know if there's a trick to removing it? I can't seem to find it in the GUI or in edge://flags.

Thanks!

I found that you can remove it with a policy in the registry: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#hubssidebarenabled
But then in Settings it will always say that "Your browser is managed by your organization"
I think that it should be an option in settings or at least one in edge:flags.

Yeah, I didn't either. You need to make it, right click on Microsoft &gt; new key and name it Edge then right click on the right &gt; new dword 32 bit and name it HubsSidebarEnabled and leave the value at default 0x00000000 (0)
