If your using Microsoft Edge, did you know about the "Shopping" feature built into edge?
Edge has a built in tool that compare the prices of products, get coupons or rebates from the website, auto-apply coupons, and help checkout faster using autofill data. This is a security risk due to using your browsing data and could expose sensitive data with 3rd parties. If you're like me and don't want this in Edge, here is the fix for you:
- Open your registry editor as admin
- Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
EdgeShoppingAssistantEnabled
- Create a DWORD or set the existing DWORD to 1
- Relaunch Edge
Shopping in Edge no more!
