Came here to express the same thing. One of the main appeal of the GitHub web interface, to me, is that it is very lean and uncluttered. This message is distracting advertising, and has nothing to do with the content I am browsing. Please, please, do not do this, or at the very least add a "dismiss" button. This is a professional platform, treat it as such. |

Yeah, really disappointed when I noticed this. It's easy enough to ad-block it, but I shouldn't have to on a service I'm paying for. What bothers me the most is that the placement of the ad makes it look like I'm endorsing CoPilot. |

Why is this advertisement still there? Get this garbage out of here. If you use uBlock Origin, the following filter rule will remove this nonsense (at this time): |

Just discovered ads for copilot on the code viewer, and since the general feedback post seems to be deleted, I'll just share my thoughts about that here:
Ads like these are absolutely unacceptable, and even just the idea of putting ads into critical spaces like these should be immediately thrown out. I understand you want people to use your product, but ads like these are not how you achieve that. I thought I'd give it a try sometime soon, but this action single-handedly removed all of my incentive to do so.
