    I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.

    I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

    Its not much, but it honest work.

      try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

      Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can’t imagine it’s gotten any better on 11l

        What’s the point of such deception? As long as they’re able to recognise it as a web browser, no need for it.

        I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly “needs” it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.
