Bing Chat?
-
Has anyone discovered how to block Bing chat in a home environment? I understand there are policies that can be applied in enterprises that use MS 365, Even when I disable it in Edge settings, it doesn't stick and often when I do it on the fly from a page it just won't stop. I know I'm likely in the minority by using Bing, but I always seem to find what I'm looking for... except a solution to this,,, and I enjoy the photography. Besides, the "Don't be evil" company is as bad or worse. Maybe it's registry, but I've exported the registry before and after setting the flag, but a file compare finds no changes. I find it intrusive, distracting, and annoying and if it's so smart, it should have figured out by now that I pick my own friends! I even asked Bing chat how to disable itself. It felt threatened and cut me off...
Thanks for reading and an replies.

@provels do you have the domain name that bing chat uses? If so you could use either pfblocker or Squid to block it.

@michmoor It is bing.com. But I want to use the search provider. I already use pfB (and pie-hole) but I don't see anything logged in either x bing.com. Their chat is like the loud drunk at a party who no one wants to talk to, but won't shut up or leave.

Getting back to this, looks like I found a solution. In my dumb little Pi-hole VM I created a cname entry pointing www.bing.com to nochat.bing.com.
Looked at having resolver do it, but I don't see a way to add a cname, just overrides and aliases..
