Let's dive in and take control! π
π Why Do Microsoft Edge Shopping and Coupon Pop-ups Appear?
Microsoft Edge integrates a shopping assistant feature powered by Microsoft Rewards and Copilot, which scans pages for deals and coupons. It activates automatically on product pages from sites like Amazon or Walmart. While intended to help, it often feels spammy. Recent updates have made it more aggressive, but disabling is simple via settings, flags, or policies. Ready to stop them? Start with the easiest method.
β
Method 1: Disable via Edge Settings (Quickest for Most Users)
This built-in option turns off Microsoft Edge shopping pop-ups without extensions or restarts. Works on the latest Edge versions.
- π§ Open Microsoft Edge and click the three-dot menu (top-right) β Settings.
- π± Go to Privacy, search, and services (left sidebar).
- π Scroll to Services β Click Shopping or Shopping assistant.
- β Toggle Show coupons and price comparisons to Off. Also disable Enhanced shopping experience if visible.
- π Restart Edge. Pop-ups gone! π
Pro Tip: If coupons persist, check Address bar and search β Turn off Show search and site suggestions. Test on a shopping site β smooth sailing ahead!
βοΈ Method 2: Use Edge Flags for Deeper Control
For stubborn pop-ups, tweak experimental flags. This targets the shopping engine directly.

edge://flags/ in the address bar β Enter.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge. (Create Edge key if missing.)
