You may not allow your Edge Chromium browser to try to help you save, but it can be annoying when you see a prompt after asking about Cashback Programs and Coupon Savings. Sometimes the deals are great; sometimes they are more annoying than useful.
I like to think of myself as a pretty smart shopper, and I’ve found that prompts like this – and browser extensions similar to these – appear honey– Don’t often improve my shopping experience. Either the websites rarely have a wild promotion code (Amazon) or I shop there strategically because I know a deal is worth it (thanks, Slick deals).
If you’re like me, you can turn off these prompts in Edge Chromium. And maybe you would like since you get them by default after installing the browser for the first time.
How to disable Edge Chromium’s additional services
First, go to the browser’s settings by clicking the three-dot icon in the top right corner and then clicking the settings. Then you want to click Data protection, search and services, and scroll down until you see this Services Section. Look for that in it “Save time and money by shopping in Microsoft Edge” Possibility. Turn it off.

While you’re there, you may want to make sure the Pinterest link is disabled too if you use the browser’s collection feature a lot but don’t need Pinterest that much. The “Address Bar and Search” option also lets you change the default search engine your browser uses when you type something in the address bar. You can also completely disable your browser’s suggestions if you are not a fan.
However, if you intend to stick with the shopping tips, there is no need to wait for your browser to prompt you for a quote on a website. If you’re impatient or the process is flawed for whatever reason, just look for the little price tag icon on the far right of your browser’s address bar. Click that and you’ll be able to see all of the deals, promotions, and other deals Microsoft found everywhere you shop.
