   Microsoft Edge adds AI product comparison and automatic coupon finding for shopping

   Microsoft has added shopping features to its Edge browser. When you have similar products open in several tabs, Edge offers a comparison summary, and at checkout it looks for a working coupon. The update is aimed at the year-end shopping season.

   • Edge offers to compare similar products open in different tabs.
   • After you pick compare, Copilot, Microsoft's AI assistant, summarizes specs and prices on one screen.
   • At checkout, the new Checkout Savings feature looks for and shows a working coupon.
   • You can turn the feature off in Edge settings.

   Edge's Scareware blocker uncovers notification abuse and now auto-blocks it

   Microsoft Edge has strengthened protection against scam notifications such as fake virus warnings. Starting with Edge 156, when a scam notification is detected, Edge automatically turns off notifications from the site that sent it. The notification permission prompt also gains a way to block and report a site on the spot.

   • Scareware blocker (a feature that stops scare-tactic scam pages) has been on by default on supported PCs for over a year, protecting tens of thousands of people a day.
   • User reports showed that website notifications are a common starting point for scams.
   • From Edge 156, a detected scam notification turns off that site's notifications, and wrongly blocked sites can be unblocked in Settings.
   • Choosing Block and report on the permission prompt sends the page address and a screenshot, giving evidence to stop abuse before the first scam notification arrives.

   New in Edge for developers: better web components and agent-ready sites

   Microsoft Edge rounded up its latest features for web developers. They include a way to work with text ranges inside input fields, a property that makes web components (reusable page parts) easier for everyone to use, and WebMCP, an early feature that helps AI browsing agents use websites.

   • The OpaqueRange API finds where a range of text sits inside an input field, so developers can place UI or highlights there.
   • The referenceTarget property links labels to fields inside Shadow DOM (a structure that hides a component's internals), improving accessibility (how easy it is for everyone to use).
   • The aria-actions attribute tells screen readers about secondary actions, such as a tab's close button.
   • WebMCP is a web API that exposes a site's features as tools AI browsing agents can use, and Edge's implementation is ready for testing now.
