Introducing Buy now, pay later in Microsoft Edge

I don't know how old a device you are using but most stuff you call "slow" isn't a case for me. All of them work smoothly. Also, why Math solver is a bloat it is not for just to calculate 1+1 it can solve the most of advanced math problems. I don't know what world you live in, but math has never been just for kids. And even though. Edge's purpose is to become a browser for almost every type of user. From people who use it for shopping to who uses it for work/school stuff which means kids also using browsers. Maybe don't be that selfish next time and think about all potential users instead of just YOUR experience.

Metin_Hsnv Totally agree with you, it's a great feature for solving advanced math solutions, even the default calculator on Windows 10 Mobile or Windows 11/10 has more features than your standard phones nowadays. Shopping is nice as you can see coupon history, even though you may hate the fact of BNPL. There are people who still use financing for purchases for major appliances or when they really need it. Even though you may not use it and take it for granted, some do. I like the Give with Bing feature, the fast way to alt-tab between Edge profiles, Collections, Vertical tabs are just amazing for research/school. Every single OS - iOS/Android/Windows/macOS all have a default browser that can't be uninstalled. Some aspects of macOS even though the default is Edge some still open in Safari since that is the only browser that will always be there. It is designed to be smooth, fast only on that OS. It is just Edge has a bad reputation and also people don't like Bing. Bing is actually a wonderful search engine! I like the widgets feature, it quickly tells me my to-do list, calendar or weather or traffic. 

 

When I suggested features to the development teams of Edge, Office, Windows, not only did they bring the feature I want, they also made it look nice and work seamlessly through products. There is always a reason behind something, that may take some time to understand. Not everything wants to want, there is always a reason.

 

There might have been people who suggested this, instead of whining, suggest that they work on improving other services or just ignore this fact. Thank you 🙂 

have a wondeful day!

    Complety agree. Only thing I think different is Widgets. I like the idea but it still needs lots to do to be useful enough for me.

      I really like widgets, like the moments on OneDrive or the weather, always nice and refreshing to see something new. Really think there will be more features added by next year, time will tell. If you don't like it, just disable it 🙂
