How do I remove 'Hi. I'm Bing. Your AI-Powered copilot for the web' from Edge search?

Hi There

Some more annoying Bing stuff has just surfaced. Got rid of most of it (remove sidebar) but now it nags to 'Get Started' in the Edge search bar.

Is there a way to get rid of this and return to just search - ideally also remove 'Trending now' and all the background noise that is not needed.

Thanks

    This is an accessibility issue. My husband is visually impaired and has dexterity issues with his fingers. Having this popup stuff when he clicks in a box is incredibly disruptive to him when trying to use a computer. I've been trying to turn off all kinds of annoying features for him and this is one of them. I am going to just have to remove edge and go back to google chrome for him because of this ****.

    I already switched. Cannot stand AI. Including trying to second guess what I'm searching for. Just as I am typing this. Annoying.

    Can't figure this out about thinking ahead of what I'm typing.

    it might be useful to some but annoying to others, people want the freedom to search for themselves and not have ideas pushed at them. AI search is not wanted by most

    HA, good luck with that one, do you have any idea how much storage space, how many CDNs, and other such considerations are needed to build a search engine? Nobody would provide all that infrastructure for free so they have to make money somehow in order to provide the service. But in a utopian world without money I would love to see that as well.
