Microsofthas announced an upgrade for itsweb browserEdge that could help users identify thebest deals on Black FridayandCyber Monday.

The company has formed a new partnership withecommerce platformShopify, which will see millions more listings added to thedatabasethat serves theMicrosoft Edgeshopping tab.

According to a Microsoftblog post, the Edge shopping tab will now offer “more diverse products, better prices, and improved discovery of deals”. And on the other side of the equation, the 1.7 million Shopify sellers will enjoy a greater level of visibility for their products.

The integration will also benefit shoppers using the MicrosoftBingsearch engine and the company’s personalized news feed service, Microsoft Start.

Shopping on Microsoft Edge

The timing of the new Microsoft-Shopify partnership is no coincidence, with many shoppers looking to make purchases sooner rather than later to ensure supply chain disruption doesn’t leave them empty handed ahead of the holiday season.

With Black Friday now less than a month away, it’s also likely that retailers (and Shopify sellers) will begin to think about releasing a handful of early deals, which Edge should be better equipped to identify.

The deeper range of shopping listings also synergizes nicely with the Edge coupon feature, released earlier this year, that highlights any active discount codes for the current site in the URL bar.
