In late 2021, the company faced backlash after adding a "buy now, pay later" short-term financing feature to Edge.

This is only one of many money and shopping-related features that Microsoft has bolted onto Edge since it was reborn as a Chromium-based browser a few years ago. The feature, which the screenshots say is strictly for internal testing, was unearthed by Twitter user who has a history of digging up present-but-disabled features in everything from new Windows 11 builds to ancient Windows Vista betas. Appears to be testing a built-in cryptocurrency wallet for Edge, according to screenshots pulled from a beta build of the browser.
