Microsoft recently rolled out tools for Microsoft Edge and Bing to help
people save money on the web. One of the new features is Coupons, which
automatically scans the web for coupon codes.
This might sound familiar, as
the popular extension Honey offers similar functionality and was built into
Microsoft Edge on mobile devices. However, it seems that Microsoft is moving
away from Honey, replacing it with its own offering on Microsoft Edge beta
for Android. Honey has also been replaced on Microsoft Edge on iOS.
The new Coupons feature is already available on Edge on Windows and iOS, and
it appears that Microsoft is testing it on Android now.
In a blog post highlighting money-saving features from Microsoft, a footnote
reads, "Coupons are currently available in U.S. markets and now available on
desktop and iOS. Coming soon to Android."
You will able to use the new
Coupons feature on your Android devices running the beta version of
Microsoft Edge. Your Android devices running the non-beta version of
Microsoft Edge will still see the option to use Honey.
When browsing the web on Microsoft Edge beta Android, you now see a blue tag
that prompts you to check out the Coupons feature. These prompts help you
save money and are a handy visual indicator to check for codes and
deals.
Microsoft is investing time and effort into shopping features for its
browser. Between price comparison tools, coupon scanners, and Collections
that can be used as wish lists, there are quite a few ways to save money
through Microsoft Edge.
Microsoft made sure to roll the features out before
Black Friday, which should help save some money over the holidays.
