Microsoft Edge Adds Product Comparisons and Checkout Coupon Finder

Microsoft Edge is adding tools that compare products across open tabs and look for coupons at checkout as holiday shopping gets underway.

Microsoft announced the changes Monday. When Edge detects similar products in multiple tabs, it can offer a comparison. After the user chooses to compare, Copilot generates a summary of specifications, prices and other product information alongside the current page.

Microsoft says Edge reviews the pages in full for that comparison only after the user chooses to use the feature. The option can be turned off in Edge settings.

A separate Checkout Savings feature searches for available coupons and can surface one when the user reaches checkout. It joins existing tools for comparing retailer prices, viewing price history, tracking price drops and activating eligible cashback offers.

The shopping tools are available in Edge for Windows and Mac, but features vary by website. Microsoft says Checkout Savings is available only in the U.S. English market, while the comparison feature is available in Copilot markets.

The tools do not guarantee a discount or the lowest possible price. Retailer participation and offer terms still apply.
