Introducing Shopping with Microsoft Edge
I totally agree,
I personally have no use for Pinterest integration because i don't use that website.
I also have no use for coupon etc. because it doesn't support my local merchants. (US is not the only country in the world)
extensions are perfectly fine for these situations. any code built and added to Edge can expand the attack surface of the whole browser and introduce unintended bugs.
there are a lot of bloated browsers with useless features like Opera or Brave browser. Edge shouldn't copy them.
Opera (for all the useless sidebar and 3rd party stuff in it)
Brave (for Tor integration which is Not secure, because TOR developers themselves say it's only secure in Tor browser, based on Firefox).
now Edge following their foot step is worrying.
these features weren't even asked by users, they weren't on the top feedback list either, it was a decision made by Edge developers strictly.
what if tomorrow they force another unwanted thing to the browser, like newsguard which exists in Edge mobile? that extension and company behind it is biased and the way they categorize and score news sources is Brainwashing.
Edge is using Chromium now, it's no longer using the EdgeHTML engine, now extensions are a major advantage and tens of thousands of extensions are out there, so better use them instead of shipping everything with the browser.
extensions are modules, anyone who wants them and needs them, adds them to the browser.

Wait, you can disable some of the featurestoggling a button not to see the feature is not what I meant.
the code and everything is still in there, just not available in the UI.
