Introducing Buy now, pay later in Microsoft Edge

Not state in blog post, one of comments mentions a $4 flat fee to use this feature: "On a $35 purchase, that's 11% of the purchase cost spread over one month. Annualized, that's an astounding 250% APY." https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/articles/introducing-...

$35 is a bit odd to use as an example price, because it probably isn't going to be particularly common to need to split a $35 purchase into multiple payments. My guess is that the most common prices would be >$100

This is just terrible and has nothing to do with being a feature of a browser. How sad. Glad I don’t use Microsoft products that much.

This could easily just be a browser extension. Then I could also have more control over the credit provider and terms too.

Microsoft has no foot in the credit industry, they should not be anywhere near this avenue (even if they are partnering with another company to provide the credit)

Tim Berners-Lee will be so happy when he sees Microsoft has fully realized the potential of the web!
