How to stop my Mac Book Pro from sharing with my phone

If Im on my macbook looking at whatever in chrome, and I use my phone and then close out window on my phone there is a little banner at the bottom that shows the safari app logo and "roberts Mac book Pro". If i click that banner it then shows on my phone what Im viewing on my mac. How do I stop that. Ive attached a screen shot of the banner at the bottom for reference.

It is the Handoff functionality. To turn it off:

Mac with macOS Ventura or later: Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, click General in the sidebar, then click AirDrop & Handoff on the right. Turn off “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
Mac with earlier versions of macOS: Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click General, then select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”
iPhone or iPad: Go to Settings > General > AirPlay & Handoff, then turn off Handoff.
