# Microsoft Edge Mini Menu Configuration

In 2021, Microsoft Edge introduce a vertical Mini Menu menu that appears on text selection. Reasons to disable the Mini Menu:

* The Mini Menu includes actions that are non-compliant (e.g., "Ask Copilot", which transmits page data to Microsoft Copilot)
* In many cases, the Mini Menu location conflicts with the PixieBrix Action Menu

### Disable the Mini Menu for a Single Browser

1. Open `edge://settings/appearance` 
2. Under the "Context menus" section, toggle off "Show mini menu when selecting text"

### Disable the Mini Menu via Windows Registry

To disable the Mini Menu via the Windows Registry, configure the Edge value:

```
SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
```

| Key                     |            | Value |
