Turn off iOS 15 Safari Address Bar dictation?

Since upgrading to iOS 15 I have been constantly annoyed by the dictation mic in the Safari Address Bar. Several times per day I hit that by accident on the small screen of my iPhone 8 and Safari starts listening for a dictated search or web address. Very annoying! I use dictation daily but with the mic button on the keyboard so I'm not happy to turn it off completely.

Is there a setting for Safari to remove this or do I have to wait for next release...?

You can’t. It’s just there for no reason. It’s stupid and I can’t believe that people on here say that they have fixed the issue. I’ve tried everything and for a short while it will go away but comes back after a reboot or closing the safari app. Nobody on here has actually figured it out.
