It just had to be! Microsoft Edge may be picking up new features left and right, but not everyone is pleased with the additions. Most notably, the shopping options, which some users consider bloatware.
Many are now calling the company to stop adding these features to the web browser.
As you may be aware, Microsoft recently started adding some new features to Edge. These include testing a buy now, pay later integration powered by Zip. The feature allows folks to split purchases made online into four installments over a six-week period.
Pretty standard stuff, but one that has no place in a web browser, some say.
It goes without saying that the announcement post of this BNPL feature became littered with comments from fans and browser users who expressed their frustration.
The feature may be optional, but its detractors oppose the concept of Edge having such shopping features built in. The center of most complaints is that Microsoft Edge is becoming bloated with additions like these.
Instead of, you know, delivering a pure browsing experience.
Several pages of comments are included, most of which are negative. Critics of additions like these believe that such features should be left to extensions and dedicated websites rather than baked right into the web browser.
What are your thoughts on this precarious position?
