Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Hub!
The bar you are talking about is not the address bar but is a bar that appears when you are on a different website from the website that you have installed as an app, that bar shows the name of the different website you are in.
I would recommend you to visit this conversation where I have given a solution to this problem which also appears on Amazon Prime Video with more details.
Thanks Hrcorl for the help your method works as I also got the same scenario as you also thank to TheShaunSaw for the explanation now I know how this whole thing works. Maybe in the future we can have the ability to install app by manually typing the URL address in, instead of limited to on site visit.

Microsoftouttamahway I was going to suggest a VPN solution, but I don't want to suggest that all of our customers have to do that :-). I'm glad you were willing to and that it worked for you; we are brainstorming different ways to solve this problem so that all of our users stay safe, know what domain they are on, and are able to enjoy sites like Netflix as "apps".

johnjansen This could be a workaround on some sites but some other sites like deezer is having /us as their default homepage so even after using the vpn, it won't prevent the site from redirect to /us and like Hrcorl suggested each and every other instance of url is not built upon /us which make the bar appears everywhere because of the missing /us part of the url. But as long as Netflix works, I'd say I'm satisfy now but I hope to see more better and permanent solution in the future 🙂
Hello johnjansen
Well at least there could be a way to edit a pwa's url. This way we could put only the root url
