Microsoft has been doing its best to make Edge much better with a good number of features. Now that Microsoft Edge has already got Bing AI into its search results, Bing AI is now part of the web browser as well. This should hopefully make the browser smarter and eventually make people gravitate toward using the built-in Windows browser.
Microsoft has put a big Bing button at the top right corner of the Edge Browser, and not a lot of people like it. Sure, the browser is now integrated with AI to perform better as well as deliver better search results.

So, if you’re thinking about removing the Bing button from the Edge, here is our guide.
