Enhance your productivity and enjoy streamlined access to the same set of powerful AI tools and web-based services in the sidebar, including Bing Chat, without opening a browser window. If you’re running Windows 10 on your PC device, you can now move your Microsoft Edge sidebar to your desktop to directly access sidebar apps and sites without having to open a browser window. This turns on a side-by-side experience with any Windows app—including Microsoft Edge itself. ..

In Microsoft Edge, open the sidebar by pressing Ctrl+ Shift+ (.), or selecting the Bing Chat icon in the upper right corner of the Microsoft Edge toolbar.

Select the Detach from Edge icon at the bottom of the sidebar to move the sidebar to your Windows desktop.

Once moved, you can access all your sidebar apps, including Bing Chat and Compose, from your Windows 10 desktop….

I don’t want Edge on anything, much less it’s sidebar.
