    In your Edge Settings under Sidebar, see that Always show sidebar is toggled OFF. Now, the only time it will show is if & when the Edge Copilot icon is touched.

    "In summary, the sidebar and co-pilot are both equally useless and non-aesthetic to the Microsoft Edge browser."

    It is unfortunate you don't realise, see or appreciate the value these 2 bring to the table. However, it is easy to have neither.

    1. Toggle "Always show sidebar" to OFF
    2. Toggle "Show Copilot" to OFF
