I'm a dinosaur who still uses Hotmail.com via web-based Outlook.com. Now every time I reply to a message, I get a ""Try Draft with Copilot" message/link in it. I never want to use Copilot for anything, but this won't go away. How can I turn permanently off this any other Copliot promot in Outlook?

    I created a uBlock Origin script to prevent that garbage from loading in my browser.

    Could you please explain how you did this? Thanks in advance.

    Perhaps stop throwing things the customers don't want or ask for and making our life worse for it. Give us an option

    I know. It's just useless and actually lowers my productivity because I am constantly being distracted by this intrusive pop up on my screen. Arghhhhh!

    This intrusive "copilot" message in the web version of Outlook is appalling and has driven me mad in the few days since you released it. I do not need help writing an email - or reading - and if i did, i'd use the copilot app (that i have, and really like). AI is a good tool, sometimes useful. It's also not me, not human, and a dreadful source of CO2. Just. Stop. it.

    Please.

    (And you've just whacked up my 365 subscription, dammit! i'm paying more for features I hate!)

    Thank you so much. I can't believe it's now necessary to use an extension to block annoying behaviour in my web browser email I've used for 17 years...
