Microsoft has been busy working on its Edge browser, and many of the changes aren\u2019t well-received by the community. A lot of these tweaks have focused on using the browser as a shopping tool, and now Microsoft is adding a new feature that\u2019ll let you use the browser as a price tracker.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a>, Microsoft announced the new feature coming to Edge soon. According to\u00a0Liat Ben-Zur, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, \u201cMicrosoft Edge is here to alleviate some of the stress by helping you keep an eye on products you\u2019ve recently viewed and alert you of price changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The feature will be built into the Edge browser, where many users might be annoyed. There are plenty of websites and browser extensions that offer price tracking, and if a user wants them, they can download<\/a> them. Adding these shopping features at the browser level will add to the perception that Microsoft is adding bloat to Edge with features designed to make the company money through affiliate revenue.<\/p>\n

Microsoft cites some of the other shopping features it has added to the browser, and there are quite a few. \u201cThis feature, combined with our other built-in tools like price comparison, price history, easy access to customer ratings and expert reviews, and our auto-fill coupons tool, it\u2019s as if Microsoft Edge became the personal shopping assistant you\u2019ve always needed,\u201d says\u00a0Ben-Zur.<\/p>\n

While these all sound like positive features, there are plenty of users who would prefer these not to be part of their browsing experience automatically, and it could ultimately push more users away from Edge and towards third-party browsers like Chrome and Firefox.<\/p>\n

Of course, with Microsoft making it more challenging to change browsers\u00a0and even blocking third-party tools that override direct to Edge features in Windows, changing isn\u2019t as easy as it once was.<\/p>\n
