How to disable Bing Chat in Microsoft Edge

In its latest update, Microsoft Edge browser introduced a new Bing Chat button for users to easily access the AI chatbot.

The Bing button appears in the top-right of the Edge browser. When you click on the button, a flyout appears for you to use. The chatbot answers complex questions, generates draft emails and other types of content with AI, and gets insights about the web page you are viewing.
