Microsoft Edge browser recently added a feature that allows people to pay for online shopping in installments, called Buy First Pay Later (BNPL), and is currently being implemented on Microsoft Edge Dev and Canary test. This feature has aroused strong criticism from Edge browser fans and users, who expressed their dissatisfaction in the comment section of the post that officially announced the feature.
Most users complain that Microsoft Edge is becoming bloated and full of shopping features, rather than providing a pure browser experience. Although the BNPL function is optional, its opponents believe that Edge should not have built-in shopping functions.
User vyrotek said: It is impressive that you can throw away years of hard work and goodwill with such a ridiculous feature. The Edge team needs to pause and think about how they might think this is a good idea. Even Bing’s features has also become too radical.
User Cameron_Bush said that he asked Microsoft to reconsider this new feature, This sounds like a terrible idea and will only be seen by the media as a shameless cash grab and/or bloat. I ask you to reconsider bringing it to the market. This feature will receive negative news and is not worth it.

User GNS722 also expressed a similar view: As many people mentioned above, please do not continue to increase this bloat. Edge has become a very good alternative to Chrome, but if you are going this way, it won’t Again.
User examinedliving’s comments compared some parts of Microsoft’s openness with the addition of BNPL in Edge: It seems that Microsoft has been classified as a competing biblical entity. One is pure, creating things like VS Code and Powertoys. The other is a demonic beast, and he came up with this ridiculous, insulting garbage.
There are a few pages of reviews, most of which are negative. Edge provides some features that help people save money. Critics seem to think that features like this should be left to extensions and dedicated websites, rather than being built into a browser.
