Edge Apps history showing in Browser history
Where I do enjoy alot of the features of Edge. One has puzzled me.
I do enjoy being able to create an App from a website, I also enjoy how it shows up as a legit app, even in Add Remove Programs.
However, I mentally keep the browser and the apps separate in my mind. Edge however does not. For me, when I close out the browser, and I have "Continue where I left off" set. Imagine my disappoint when I open up the browser, and what opens is the web page of the last "App" that I closed. and my actual browser history is buried further down in the History feed. Also frustrating, its not remembering the group of tabs that I had open, instead each link's history in listed individually. Some of these links I have not opened in over a week, so they are buried even further.
So for now the lesson is, always close out Edge last, and not an Edge App.
I will troubleshoot this more, because I really want it to work.
This is great feedback, RandyConrad.
We are currently working through a more comprehensive design in this space based on feedback we've gotten (as well as a few bugs we may have shipped). Our principle here is to be deterministic in our approach so that when you say "Continue where I left off..." and have apps running, we will always restore in the same way.
Changes in this area are coming soon.

It would appear that I confused Edge with Edge Dev. Browsing History is still there...
However, Edge App history does show up in Edge History. Would be nice if I could turn on and off that feature.Thank you for raising this issue, make sure share this issue through feedback option in Microsoft Edge.
