[Tip] Disable Online Shopping Features and Notifications in Microsoft Edge
If you are using a new version of Microsoft Edge web browser, you might have noticed a new type of notifications in the address bar. Whenever you visit a website related to online shopping, Microsoft Edge shows shopping related notifications in its address bar.
You get suggestions related to coupons, price comparisons, promotions, offers, etc from Microsoft Edge web browser in the address bar.
Following screenshot shows shopping related notification in Microsoft Edge web browser when we tried to visit Samsung website:

As you can see in above screenshot, “3 coupons found” notification message is displaying in Microsoft Edge web browser. A price tag icon is shown in the address bar and when we click on the icon, Microsoft Edge shows shopping related promotions and offers.
Although it’s a good feature for shopping lovers but many people may not like this new addition. If you don’t do online shopping frequently, these notifications may start annoy you.
Fortunately, Microsoft has provided an option to disable and turn off this new online shopping related feature entirely. Once you turn off online shopping feature, it’ll completely disable all coupons and promotions notifications in address bar of Microsoft Edge.
If you also want to get rid of online shopping notifications in Microsoft Edge, following steps will help you:
1. Open Microsoft Edge browser and click on the 3-dots menu button present at the right-side of the toolbar. Now select Settings option from the main menu.
Alternatively, you can press ALT+F keys together to show Edge Menu and then press S key to open Settings page.

You can also directly open Edge Settings page using edge://settings/ URL in address bar.
2. Now go to Privacy, search, and services tab and in right-side pane, scroll down to bottom and look for following option:
Save time and money with Shopping in Microsoft Edge
As its description mentions “we’ll automatically find you the best prices and coupons from across the web as you shop”, this is the option responsible behind showing shopping related notifications. It’s enabled by default.
Set the option to OFF i.e. disable the option.
That’s it. Now try to visit any website and Microsoft Edge will no longer display any coupon or promotional offers related notifications in address bar.

Hello,
I have the last version of Edge Chromium [87.0.664.60 (64 bits)] and I realized several days ago “Save time and money with Shopping in Microsoft Edge” had stopped worked. When I wanted to check if it was enabled, I found that service is missing in the Privacy setting, so I couldn’t enable or disable it because I didn’t have this service in the Edge Service list. I tried to reinstall Edge but the issue persist. Could you please suggest me any ideas to solve this? Thanks!
Thank you so much for this valuable info.
This little app was really disrupting and irritating!
Can you hear my sigh of relief?
You’re great!
