In its Chromium avatar, Microsoft Edge is regarded as one of the best web browsers across desktops and mobile devices. However, with an update last year, the browser introduced a ‘Shopping’ feature that has been widely criticized for adding bloat and creating privacy concerns. So today, we will see how to disable the shopping feature in Microsoft Edge on your Windows 10 PC and Android smartphone.
The online shopping feature in Edge Chromium lets you compare the prices of a product across different websites. It also helps you get coupon codes for instant discounts on sites like Target, SuperShoppingNow, and more. By default, the shopping feature is enabled both on desktops and mobile, but there is an option to turn it off within the settings. In this article, we will learn how to disable the shopping feature in Microsoft Edge on Android and Windows 10.
