Microsoft Edge is regarded as one of the best web browsers for PCs and mobile devices in its Chromium incarnation. With a recent upgrade, the browser added a Shopping feature, which has drawn much criticism for adding clutter and raising privacy issues. So, today’s tutorial will demonstrate how to turn off Microsoft Edge’s shopping functionality on a Windows 10 computer and an Android phone.
Disable Shopping Feature in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 and Android
Edge Chromium’s online shopping functionality allows you to look up product pricing on various websites. You may also get discount codes for immediate savings on websites like Target, SuperShoppingNow, and others with its assistance. Both on desktops and on mobile devices, the shopping feature is turned on by default, but there is a setting that allows you to disable it. Learn how to disable the shopping feature in Microsoft Edge on Android and Windows 10 in this post.
Windows 10
- Open Microsoft Edge and click on the three-dot menu at the top-right corner. From the drop-down menu, select Settings.
- On the left sidebar, click on Privacy, search, and services. Now scroll down on the right pane and switch off the toggle next to Save time and money with Shopping in Microsoft Edge.
The end! Your Windows 10 computer’s unpleasant and privacy-invading shopping feature has been removed.
Android
