You can view a list of available coupons by clicking the blue shopping tag icon on the address bar. Coupons also pop up during checkout, and you can copy and paste codes in or have Edge auto-populate codes to save you the most money possible.

Microsoft Edge has another new feature that automatically scans the web for better deals on things you're looking for. When you search for something to buy, the browser checks prices across several retailers and lets you know if a better deal is available.
