With Microsoft Edge it will be easier and safer to make payments but we will have to wait for the Creators Update

At the time we have given the figures that Kantar provided on the market share of Windows and one of the sections was dedicated to Microsoft Edge , which together with Internet Explorer, is the Microsoft browser, in this case also with a view to the future.

And if we leave Internet Explorer aside, all the efforts of Redmond are focused on promoting this browser and for this they do not stop adding constant improvements that facilitate the daily tasks of users and incidentally get them to opt for Edge instead of the more popular alternatives like Chrome or Firefox

And among the latest news that we have learned that will arrive, will be those related to facilitating payments through Edge through an API that is already testing in some Windows Insider Program versions by developers.

Given the increasing importance of _online purchases_, Microsoft does not want to loosen up in this field and intends to add improvements to Edge that make shopping easier and also make it safer. To do this, with this new API, the Wallet application in Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile will be in charge of generating the data in each payment process.

"

This novelty, which as we say, is already being tested, is called Payment Request and will arrive with the Creators Update with the ultimate goal to provide a unified method that offers full guarantees in the payment process, whether for companies or private users."

In addition, Microsoft is working with the W3C Web Payment Working Group, which is responsible for creating the different payment standards Open payments on the web, in order to be able to incorporate them into Microsoft Edge.

In this way we see how from Redmond they continue seeking to provide their browser with high levels of security, in a field that as already As we have said, it is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives, at the same time that it is one of the most susceptible to being threatened.
