Edge browser telling people to shop elsewhere

I'm assuming its a no, but is there any way to prevent Edge browser from displaying adverts directing customers to cheaper websites?

I don't often use edge but when browsing my site a few minutes ago I notice this shopping addon is recommending people shop elsewhere if it can find a better price online.

Is the site using Bing advertising?

Re: Edge browser telling people to shop elsewhere

No, we are not currently spending money on google or bing advertising. Though I did see a forum thread on a microsoft support forum where some very angry people that were paying bing for sponsored links we're also getting these ad placed on their address bar by Edge Browser. I can imagine how peeved I would be if I was paying Microsoft for advertising and then their shitty browser was redirecting my customers to other ecommerce stores for the sake of saving 11 pence (£0.11). I guess I'm just thankful that most people only using Edge to download and install other web browsers :)

Re: Edge browser telling people to shop elsewhere

It looks like the New Edge is adding stuff, mine updated the other day and suddenly I get a Search Bar floating in the middle if my screen.

Also see if any extensions got installed, I get a box from Amazon on my Google browser, and it only shows when I'm on another ecommerce site.
