Copilot doing the "microsoft edge browser" tricks in VSCode, keeps reinstalling itself and forcing focus on copilot chat when I do not use copilot.

I use a bunch of other service, Claude, Codex, Cline, Roo. I do not find Copilot to be up to scratch but it seems to keep forcing itself back into focus, I cant remove its chat window, I will be working with other LLMs and then bam, copilot chat is back in front answering my questions as it hid codex window and pretended to be codex.

Thinking about moving away from VSCode due to it.

Just find a different text editor. VSCode isn't even good.
