I work in a small IT business, where I regularly setup notebooks or pc for the customer and install the software they need for work.

I always remove copilot from the Taskbar and the startmenu. Also usually install firefox with ublock origin, in the hope that they will try it out and get the ad-free experience in comparison to chrome and edge.

Its not much, but it honest work.

I just right-click on copilot on the taskbar and remove, same with the startmenu. Im not uninstalling it in case someone suddenly "needs" it to save me some trouble plus its just a few clicks this way.

Why not just give FF the chrome theme, change the icon to chrome and strip out Edge? (If you can still strip edge out, it was a PITA on 10, I can't imagine it's gotten any better on 11l

What’s the point of such deception? As long as they’re able to recognise it as a web browser, no need for it.
