How do I TURN OFF the "Summary by Copilot banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook?
I may, maybe once a year when tagged into a super long email thread try to get a summary... but 99.99% of the time I will never want to use this, as such the banner is annoying and consumes lots of valuable space where I could render my email.
How can I turn this off? or hide it by default?

THANK YOU THANK YOU Jorick you have worked out how to get rid of this totally unbearable waste of space
Google claimed it would stop functioning due to Manifest3 although that seems to be a bunko claim as they said that months ago and Im still using Ublock Origin on Chrome, Opera and Edge all of which are Chromium based and the latest editions
Strapabiro,
I believe uBlock works best with Firefox and that's all I've ever used. I've read that Chrome does not support uBlock. The button on the far right has appeared in my webmail also and the uBlock did not remove it, but I don't find it intrusive. In a company environment, I imagine that proprietary settings might overrule third party extensions and prevent uBlock from working.
have you tried clearing the cache and restarting the browser? mine reappeared a few times and i had to "spam" the element zapper until "it gave up" after a while and diseappeared.
also on a company environment this appears near the ribbon too:
the ublock trick with element zapper or picker does not work on it as it reappears every time i reload the page.
do you have a solution for this?
I was following this thread when someone posted a solution on another thread for removing CoPilot banners and widgets that interfere with using Outlook webmail. It requires downloading the extension uBlock Origin which is easy to find using google.
I'm copying it here in case anyone is still looking for an answer. It may not work for everybody but it worked for me and was super easy. If it doesn't work, you can still compose emails from the Draft folder without the widget.
Here is a solution that worked for me to remove that copilot summary banner and to remove the 'try with copilot' when writing a draft.
Using Firefox and uBlock Origin -
