| Edge Browser provides additional shopping functionality |
Microsoft will continue developing a new Chromium-based Edge browser and Bing search engine based on its shopping functionality.
Ahead of the holiday shopping season, software giant Edge and Bing added more shopping-related features.
When shopping online, Edge Browser for desktop and mobile devices makes use of coupons and coupon codes.
This feature will automatically try to apply coupons and voucher codes, and Microsoft will recognize these items before other users can find them and provide them with voucher codes.
Microsoft officially announced the launch of this feature, but the Edge browser recently automatically searched for coupons on behalf of users, which means that the feature will be tested.
Coupon functionality is already available in the US market and applies to Windows and iOS Edge browsers. It will be available soon for Android Edge browsers.
There is no information on when Microsoft plans to expand this functionality outside of the United States.
Microsoft has also expanded the ability to access the recently announced price comparison feature.
Microsoft said last month: The ability to compare prices will be part of the "package" option in the Edge browser.
The company is now expanding this functionality further so that users can view product price lists from different retailers in one place.
Price comparisons are currently only available in the US market for the desktop browser Edge version, and there is no information on when Microsoft plans to expand its availability.
Microsoft also announced that users will be able to share gift lists directly on the new Bing Mall.
The mall includes a variety of collections such as: home decor, gift ideas, clothes, jewelry, etc.
If you don't want to shop online, the browser can also increase productivity, which is especially helpful for students.
Microsoft offers the ability to add text annotations and annotations to PDF. This is a much needed feature.
According to Microsoft, one of the most important functions is electronic ink. You can now write in digital ink and annotate screenshots as part of the new screenshot tool.
