This post will show you how to enable or disable Shopping in Microsoft Edge Chromium. The new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge has new Shopping features to help you save time and money when shopping online. The browser is now able to discover and show coupons that allow saving money.
Shopping features such as price comparison, coupons, and rebates will be automatically applied to retail domains. Coupons for the current retailer and prices from other retailers will be fetched from a server. Besides coupons, it can compare prices and suggest you the lowest ones.
When you visit a retailer site, Microsoft Edge will alert you if any coupons are available for that site. You can view the list of coupons at any time by clicking on the blue shopping tag in the address bar. You can copy and paste a code at checkout, or Microsoft Edge can automatically try them all to determine which one will save you the most. Shopping features enabled by default.
