Luckily, if you’re a Windows 11 user, you can make use of some pretty impressive features to help you make the best decisions when it comes to your shopping.
Microsoft Edge through Windows 11 provides users with great features that include a price comparison tool, improved online safety, and a revamped Microsoft Rewards program. Here’s how Windows 11 makes online shopping the best it can be.
Get the Best Deals With Microsoft Edge in Windows 11
As the default browser on Windows 11, Edge is redesigned to be extremely powerful and bring people close to what matters. Microsoft introduced built-in autofill coupons in Microsoft Edge about a year ago, and Windows users have made plenty of savings shopping online thanks to them.
In addition to a price comparison tool, now, you also get a built-in price tool that alerts you of any price changes and gives you access to previous price trends as well. Edge will automatically notify you of any price changes on products you’ve recently viewed. You also get easier access to expert reviews and customer ratings.
An All-New Efficiency Mode
In the holiday shopping season, you never know when there’s going to be a sudden price drop, so it’s crucial to maximize your battery life while on the go with Windows 11 and Edge.
A new efficiency mode in Microsoft Edge enhances your battery life by limiting CPU and RAM usage. With an improved battery, you can browse for hours without worrying about your PC dying on you. Together, the price-tracking features allow you to save money and make the best decision without getting overwhelmed.
Online Shopping Becomes Safer With Microsoft Edge
Privacy is a primary concern when shopping online, and no one wants to have their private details stolen and used maliciously. Windows 11 SmartScreen helps keep you safe online, but Microsoft Edge takes this further.
Password Monitor and password health dashboard are built into Microsoft Edge, and they track saved passwords to make sure none of your passwords have been compromised in a data breach.
If your password is at risk of being compromised, Edge will now allow you to update your password in just a few clicks effortlessly. Navigate to Settings > Profiles > Passwords and click on Change. From there, Edge will directly take you to the reset password page of the website, and you can then easily change your password.
Additionally, the password health monitor identifies the strength of your passwords; a weak password is more prone to getting stolen. It’s best to keep a strong password and avoid using the same password across multiple sites.
Microsoft Rewards Becomes More Accessible
Microsoft’s very own rewards program incentivizes users for browsing, gaming, and shopping with Microsoft Edge. You can redeem the points you earn for gift cards, exclusives, sweepstakes, and much more. There is also an option for you to donate to an eligible charity.
Previously, joining the Microsoft Rewards program was a bit of a hassle, but now you can join directly from the Microsoft Edge toolbar.
Simply pin Rewards experience from Settings > Appearance, and you can join Microsoft Rewards and keep track of your points. Alternatively, you can enable Rewards experience by clicking on the three-dot menu and then right-clicking on Microsoft Rewards.
Windows 11 and Microsoft Edge Make the Dream Team
Online shopping is an absolute hassle, but it gets much easier with Microsoft Edge and the all-new Windows 11.
These new features enable you to get the best deals while keeping you safe buying online.
