Anyone know how to get rid of this?

[Xenon]

I really didn't see anywhere to ask this so I am asking here. Does anyone know how to get rid of these in Microsoft Edge? They are for Games and Rewards. They are only on Bing. And please don't say switch to whatever to get rid of them.

I'm not quite sure but one way it looks like they go away is in my case where my country/region is set to Greece but my Language is set to English.   If I set it to Greek then the blue video game button shows up.  If language is English though then it goes away.   I never noticed them before.

What’s to the left of your first tab? Looks like the same logo as on the right.

 

Id click the logo on the left and turn it off whatever it is

Its a pin for the Microsoft Rewards Page. It has nothing to do with the things on the right side.

I don't have Edge installed anymore but I seem to remember an option in Edge's settings to disable the Bing Rewards stuff.

You could try clearing your cookies. Microsoft will sometimes select random users to try out "new features" in their search results and it's tracked via a cookie.

I will give that a try when I use that computer again.

It went away by itself. I think Microsoft was testing UI changes again and I was one of the people they forced it on.
