After my microsoft edge dev updated to 111.0.1619.2, there is a "discover" button on the top-right corner of the browser window, which is VERY annoying. Each time when my mouse hover on it (even without a click), the discover menu and sidebar pops up. How can I remove this "discover" button?

Adding this registry key will disable the Bing Discover button and the sidebar. Just add the key and then restart Edge.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge] "HubsSidebarEnabled"=dword:00000000

Hi, Update - currently Stable version -> 111.0.1661.54 Edge. provides the ability to hide the Discover! button in the settings!
Microsoft fixed it and it's worth emphasizing that it works well!
Best regards.

Changes typically work their way through Canary --> Dev --> Beta --> Production
Changes, additions must occur for a product to evolve. Some great ideas may not go over with the majority, that is simply the way development works. And progressive software company will face the exact same challenges. I hope we see MORE of this in Microsoft Edge, the bad stuff can get weeded out, the good stuff remain. This discover button issue was blown way out of proportion by some. And it's doubtful they ever clicked the feedback button on it.
