Edge Chromium's URL bar randomly appear inside web app
- Jul 19, 2020
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.
As you did not understand my earlier post or my earlier post was not clear, I am showing you a reply which was given by Microsoft Engineer johnjansen who replied to this conversation which is related to Netflix and describes the same issue you are facing. The reply is as follows:
This has to do with the scope of the PWA. You'll notice that when you clicked to install the PWA you were probably on a screen like netflix.com/browse. But when you are in the PWA and click to watch a video, that redirects to netflix.com/watch, which is technically 'out of scope' for the PWA and causes that black bar across the top to show up.
The easiest workaround should be to simply log out of netflix in the browser so the URL is back to just the netflix.com url and install from there. That way the scope is the entire domain rather than just /browse.

TheShaunSaw Thank you for your suggestion, but it doesn't work for https://music.apple.com/. It redirects me to https://music.apple.com/us/browse regardless whether I have logged in or not. Do you have a solution for such condition?
