When I open Edge it automatically opens Fox News - that's fine. When I select a topic, the system displays a banner across the top of the page "Recommended Videos" which obscures part of what I'm trying to read.

    Hi @David Steele ,

    Thank you for reaching out. The “Recommended Videos” banner you’re seeing is generated by the website content rather than Microsoft Edge. Because of that, Edge does not provide a built-in setting to remove or disable this specific banner.

    You can try the following options:

    1. Disable site-level recommendations: Some sites display overlays based on autoplay or embedded video content. In Edge, you can go to Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Media autoplay and set it to Block. This can reduce certain video-related banners.
    2. Use a content-blocking extension: Extensions such as uBlock Origin can hide specific page elements, including banners or overlays that come from the website itself.
    3. Check inPrivate mode: Open the same page in InPrivate to confirm that the banner is coming from the website and not from browser personalization or history.

    If the issue persists, feel free to share a screenshot, and I can look at the page structure to determine if there are other options available.

    Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
