If you are a Microsoft Edge user, you might have noticed the Rewrite with Copilot feature. Microsoft Edge displays this popup whenever you select a sentence in a text editor opened in Microsoft Edge. However, when I tried it in Google Docs, it did not work there. With the help of this feature, you can rewrite the selected sentence with AI. Since this popup appears every time you select a sentence, it can be irritating sometimes. In this article, I will show you how to disable Rewrite with Copilot popup in Microsoft Edge.
