Affirm expands work with Google Pay, integrates with autofill on Chrome
This announcement builds on Affirm's launch on Google Pay in early 2024, which enabled eligible consumers to pay over time with Affirm wherever the Google Pay button is accepted. Now, using autofill on Chrome, eligible shoppers can pay over time with Affirm quickly and conveniently, at more places where they shop.
'By integrating Affirm with autofill on Chrome, we can deliver payment choice and flexibility seamlessly and at scale,' said Vishal Kapoor, SVP of Product at Affirm. 'We are excited to expand our work with Google Pay and bring Affirm to many more consumers, through a checkout experience that combines flexibility and transparency with speed, security, and convenience.'
People shop on Google more than a billion times per day, and autofill offers them a safe, convenient way to check out on Chrome and Android. To access Affirm, U.S. shoppers using the Chrome desktop browser can select 'Pay over time options' from the autofill dropdown menu. After choosing Affirm, they will go through a quick eligibility check and, if approved, select the personalized biweekly or monthly payment plan that works best for them. Plans range from four biweekly payments to monthly installments up to 24 months, support cart sizes from $35 to $30,000, and include interest rates starting at 0% APR. As always, Affirm does not charge any late or hidden fees, ever.
Consumers will also have the ability to link their Affirm account with Google Pay, allowing them to breeze through checkout quickly and securely for future purchases.
New and existing Affirm users can pay with autofill on Chrome at select merchant websites. This feature will be automatically activated for merchants, with no integration effort required.

'Browse Securely Now': Microsoft Stock (NASDAQ:MSFT) Gains as it Calls Users to Pass Up Chrome
There may be trouble ahead for tech giant Microsoft (MSFT), as it has recently made a lot of advances in security, though not in ways that users are exactly pleased with. While the ongoing push to force users out of Windows 10 and into Windows 11 is still drawing a lot of user complaint, another new measure is also drawing ire. Microsoft wants users to pass up Google's (GOOGL) Chrome browser in exchange for Microsoft's own Edge. This was good enough for investors, who gave Microsoft a modest boost in share prices in Tuesday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Windows users who install Chrome are being met with some unexpected messaging from Microsoft: 'Browse securely now. Microsoft Edge runs on the same technology as Chrome, with the added trust of Microsoft.' Given that Chrome users outnumber Edge users by somewhere in the neighborhood of six to one, reports note, this reads less like an actual security issue and more like a marketing ploy. Taskbar flags in the pre-release version of Canary, reports note, will '…pin Edge when you close the browser.' Moreover, the flags specifically mention Chrome by name, and include a flag that triggers when exiting the browser. A second flag is perhaps more disturbing still, calling on users to pin Edge to the taskbar '…when Chrome's usage is greater than 90%.' With a class action lawsuit already firing up to take Windows to task over removing security support for Windows 10, this is not what anyone would call 'good optics' for Microsoft right now. At Least the Game Gets Support While Windows support for laptops and desktops may be failing, a new report notes that Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon 5 will not go wanting for support. In fact, Microsoft recently announced that Turn 10 and Playground Games will continue supporting both Forza titles. The issue was somewhat shrouded in mystery, with some wondering how support could possibly continue as around half of Turn 10 had been laid off last month. But with these remarks, Microsoft seems ready to carry on that support, somehow. And with a range of new games coming out in short order for the 25 th anniversary of Xbox, this should be welcome news for gamers. Is Microsoft a Buy, Hold or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on MSFT stock based on 34 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 26.03% rally in its share price over the past year, the average MSFT price target of $623.34 per share implies 18% upside potential.

META's Threads App Hits 400M Monthly Users, Closing Gap on Musk's X
Meta Platforms' (META) social media app, Threads, has reached a new milestone. CEO Mark Zuckerberg disclosed that the app surpassed 400 million monthly active users, up from 175 million just a year ago. This positions Threads as a key competitor to Elon Musk 's X (formerly Twitter). META stock was up 3% at the time of writing. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. After Threads' initial launch in July 2023, the platform acquired users faster than competitors like TikTok and Instagram. Currently, it trails its main rival, X, which boasts a user base of 600 million. Instagram head Adam Mosseri expressed optimism about the platform's journey, stating, 'It's been quite the ride over the last two years. This started as a zany idea to compete with Twitter, and has evolved into a meaningful platform that fosters the open exchange of perspectives.' Comparison of User Trends Between Threads and X The Meta-owned app is making gains in daily engagement as well. According to data from Similarweb, its daily active users (DAUs) more than doubled to 115.1 million across Android and iOS as of June 2025. This growth outpaces X, which saw a 15.2% decrease in DAUs, though X still holds a lead with 132 million. In addition, Threads still has ground to cover in web traffic. The platform saw just 6.9 million daily visits in June, compared to X's 145.8 million. Meta's Efforts to Grow Threads' Users Meta is making efforts to compete with X by rapidly adding features and growing its user base. The platform now includes direct messaging, custom feeds, trending topics, live sports scores, and tools for developers. It also connects with other platforms like Mastodon through the fediverse. Also, Meta is shaping Threads into its own unique platform, focusing on text-based posts and communities built around shared interests like books and music. It is using AI to keep content safe and help users find what they like. As X faces issues with ads and falling engagement, Meta is pitching Threads as a more positive, community-focused option. Is Meta a Buy, Hold, or Sell? average Meta share price target is $872.50, which implies an upside of 10.59% from current levels.
