mehua This all feels extremely unnecessary for a browsing experience. I don't want it. I don't even want the shopping and discovery features y'all have pushed out. These kinds of things should be separated into extensions. I am way more interested in a lightning fast browser that uses minimal resources while being secure. Edge on Mac is getting heavier and heavier.
Please stop turning all these things on by default, or at least give us an option for a "Core" experience that is basic browsing features plus the security enhancements. As it stands right now, I spend about 5-6 minutes making sure that all the extra crap is disabled whenever I set up Edge on a new computer or move between channels.
- Metin_HsnvDec 23, 2021Brass ContributorI love shopping features and extensions don't give the experience of native experience. But I agree there must be a turn off option in settings. and also, while I don't want shopping features to become an extension this one should be an extension
- DeletedDec 23, 2021Yes, sometimes parents or even kids go through their wish list and they find a coupon, it's nice as you can save some money on things, maybe one day it will be integrated with Honey, who knows. Every company can do this, even Apple or Google browser.

- DeletedNov 30, 2021Have you ever considered that some people may not be that educated or know about this that may not have enough to even give presents to loved ones for Christmas? Sometimes these things are a benefit to others.

- Nov 30, 2021"may not have enough to even give presents". Then they shouldn't be signing up for debt. Christmas is not about presents and if you don't know that by now, you should. Group policy disablement hasn't been discussed and then that's only in Pro skus not consumers. I get it you think this is wonderful. May I ask which browser is default on your Windows machine?
- DeletedNov 30, 2021That's true, I get your point, it shouldn't be forced on people. I have sent feedback to the team 🙂 I am using Edge and I don't really like this feature either 🙂
