Edge Chromium's URL bar randomly appear inside web app

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.
TheShaunSaw we have a similar problem but found no solution for this.
We install the pages as app without a webapp.manifest because we need Get-Params for app installation like:
https://appserver.mydomain.de/my_app/main?station=VIRTUAL1&workstation=PC-MYCOMPUTER
In Google Chrome this works just fine, but in Edge Chromium the AppInfo bar is displayed every time we are on a different page. Is there a way to manually disable this bar?
In that case, I am tagging johnjansen, Microsoft Engineer working on Microsoft Edge.

TheShaunSaw thanks for the tag. PJohn88 we have addressed this issue in Edge 86+ and are looking to possibly push that change to Edge 85.
We did not make a change for all cases, but we did for directory access, such as netflix.com/us and netflix.com/watch and netflix.com/es no longer show the URL bar.

- I'm using Edge 86 and behavior changes in every minor update. For my current version (86.0.622.38) the url bar doesn't show up for https://music.apple.com/us/browse but does for https://music.apple.com/library/songs. In the previous version (still 86 I suppose) both of them looked fine.

AkazaRenn interesting. I'm not able to repro this in 86.0.622.38. Can you give me exact repro steps? There is an interesting complication to this code path, so it could be caused by a number of things.
