My computer just updated to the new Edge browser and if you're on a shopping site looking at a product it now meanders around the web trying to find you a lower price on the product you're looking at or coupons for the site. That's kind of handy. It's been moderately accurate so far when I've been playing with it. Just look for a little blue price tag in the address bar to find out if it's found coupons (pretty fast for coupons) or a better price (takes maybe ten to thirty seconds or so sometimes for the price check.) You still have to make sure the size is similar, shipping costs, etc. but it's a handy little gadget they've built-in.

Yes, but Microsoft hijacked my computer.  Kept asking me to sign in.

Yesterday, I wanted to place an order, Microsoft blocked me until I signed in.  Then I found they automatically signed me in to something they call sync.  Microsoft was coordinating all my purchases.  What nerve!

Also, they took over my Xfinity home page and replaced it with theirs.    

While that's nice they will find the lowest prices and are offering rebates, I want nothing to do with Microsoft nosing into my business.  Believe me they are using our buying practices and probably other things they don't need to know for something.

Do you use anything Google related?

They are the most intrusive browser there is, selling your info to telemarketers around the world, just read their so called 'privacy' policy.

I use nothing Google related, even as a search engine, and my relentless telemarketing calls have drastically reduced.
