How do I get rid of the right sidebar on my screen. I never asked for it and I want it off.

Hi Thomas,
I'm Sumit, here to answer your query at the Microsoft Community.
It is inside the Copilot Settings now.
Please copy and paste:
edge://settings/sidebar/appSettings?hubApp=cd4688a9-e888-48ea-ad81-76193d56b1be
Turn off the sidebar option.
Hope that helps, and rely on us for any further inquiries. All the best.
Thank you for the solution as I had the same question!
As some feedback, the sidebar is awful. It only gets in the way.
The co-pilot feature must not have been very popular if Microsoft had to use the hate for the sidebar (which from what I have seen online no one likes) just to force people to have the co-pilot onto their toolbars. The AI is already giving me suggestions on regular searches through the searchbar, why would anyone need to go through co-pilot??
In summary, the sidebar and co-pilot are both equally useless and non-aesthetic to the Microsoft Edge browser.
It appears on all browsers, not just Edge. I want it gone. I never asked for it. That copy paste doesn't work.
why has it been put here, why can you not give us direct answers instead of a link to another rabbit hole of goobledy gook from microsoft
No, it doesn't help. The automatically open sidebar option in Co-Pilot is greyed out and will not allow me to change it.
