Microsoft Edge has a Visual Search feature that activates automatically when a user clicks the Visual Search button that appears with each image. This allows users to search for products that are visually similar to the image, which can distract them from your website or your customers' websites.

pointer-events: none;
By adding this to your images, you ensure that customers can focus on your products without being distracted by related search results from other websites.
