How to get rid of Sidebar icon on Edge on Windows 11

I recently noticed something weird on the Edge browser and that was a sidebar icon.
I don't have any preferences to use that, so I wonder on how to get rid of this icon as my laptop screen is not that big to provide space to all those unnecessary icons.

Please tell me a way through which i can hide that.

Earlier, there was a Bing Copilot Icon which i successfully hide by using the settings, but i can't find that for the sidebar.

Please help, I have attached the Screenshot of that, highlighted in red circle.

    Yes, 122.0.2365.52 add an option.

    And Edge 122 comes with a new bug: Edge 122 randomly not responding.

    Ahaha ... this is kinda sad but true.

    In any case, I was able to find this post that "fixes" this issue on Windows. Still working to find a solution on how to do this on the Mac.

    reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "HubsSidebarEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
