I have a customer using bing tracking via https://bat.bing.com/bat.js.
On December, 6th 2021 it started calling in clarity.js without the customer making any changes to their code.
This slowed the overall page load by 1 second on mobile and 500ms on desktop. I've been trying to figure out how to disable this JS but I'm not sure what to do as it's being fired from the bing tracking js.
The bing tracking code is being triggered via google tag manager.
Anyone else having this issue and know how to disable clarity.js from being called at all?

This seems to be added mid-November 2021. Problematic for sure, as it broke our website in certain situations. To disable it, follow these steps:
