Wasted hours trying to work this out. Very poor behaviour - also right click on tab "Move to" profile didn't work, but the new button did -
I work from home, so my PC is setup as mine, with a the additional profile for Work - so "local intranet sites" aren't work sites, but my router, switches, home lab etc.

- originaltrini0Nov 12, 2023Copper ContributorWhy is this a thing!!!!!!!! This should have been an option that is off by default.
I just burnt my precious time trying to figure why my *.local links were opening in my own business profile. As others mentioned here, I do have a home lab, NAS, etc that are unrelated to my business. Why shunt regular people away from that? Edge in the begining was great, but now I am seriously thinking of moving to or maybe build my own basic browser.
Thanks all who suffered before I did and found a solution!
