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?

    AI is fine.. 'specially when I Don't see it Or use it when I am writing a draft. Microsoft gave us the option to get rid of it in the 365 subs why not Outlook for web browsers? Wrong approach and I am ready to change email providers And OS for my main and private projects. I foresee Microsoft having a lot of unused accounts on their hands.

    The uBlock extension hack has partially stopped working. The Summary by Copilot banner is back, but the writing prompt widget is still gone in the body of the email. I'm using Firefox on Windows 11.

    Does anybody have a fix for using uBlock to remove the Summary banner?

    Thanks in advance!

    I know Microsoft doesn't care about what the customers think, but this is extremely annoying that I can't turn this off. I do have a 365 account and I still can't turn it off in my webmail client. Because Eff Me, right? What the customer wants is immaterial relative to your company pushing its garbage down our throats.

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

    Congrats! Your response is the most helpful I've found in here. I've done the same - used a script to block the annoyance. Thanks for the suggestion!
