Copilot answers and ordinary Bing results
Bing can include generated answers, summaries and links to Copilot alongside website results. Availability differs by market, account and query.
Can you turn off Copilot in Bing search?
Bing may offer its own Copilot preferences in the search-page menu. These controls differ across regions. Local extension controls offer a separate way to hide supported page elements without changing a Microsoft account or the Edge browser interface.
Turn off Copilot answers with a free extension
To turn off Copilot in Bing search results, install RidOfAI and keep the Bing Copilot switch on. It hides Copilot answer cards and Copilot links on Bing results pages. A Copilot link inside another card is hidden on its own, so the surrounding answer stays visible.
Know which product you are changing
These controls concern Bing web results. They do not disable Windows Copilot, the Edge sidebar or Microsoft 365. For Google searches, the Web filter is another option; it changes the results view rather than Microsoft products.
Frequently asked questions
Does this turn off Windows Copilot?
No. Bing is a website, and the extension controls supported elements within its search pages. Windows Copilot is a different application and has its own controls. A local page setting also does not disable Microsoft 365 features or change services tied to a Microsoft account.
Will it remove the Edge sidebar?
No. The browser sidebar is outside the search-page content. RidOfAI can run in desktop Edge and adjust supported Bing results, but it does not control Edge’s interface. Use the browser’s own settings for sidebar preferences and keep that separate from deciding which search-page elements to display.
Why does Copilot appear for some searches only?
Availability depends on the query, market, account and interface changes. Some results have a generated answer and others have only ordinary links. Checking a page without Copilot can confirm that ordinary results remain visible, but it cannot establish whether the current AI answer layout is correctly matched.
Can I restore a hidden Copilot answer?
Use Show on this page in the popup for a temporary reveal. Reloading applies the saved controls again. Turning off the Bing Copilot switch changes the saved preference for supported Bing pages. The main switch disables all RidOfAI hiding controls, including those for Google search.
Does the extension block regular Bing links?
The rules target supported AI elements rather than ordinary website results or ads. Link-specific rules hide only the matching link, while protected result regions stay visible. If a page changes unexpectedly, turn off the switch and report the layout issue without sending personal queries or account details.
Is it free to turn off Copilot in Bing?
No. Bing Copilot controls are included with the current free search controls, together with Google AI Overview and AI Mode switches. No RidOfAI account or payment is required. Future Pro features will be separate, and Pro is not available to buy yet.
