I have tested this on my Edge Chromium Version 76.0.154.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit) set as Default Browser on a Lenovo Yoga Laptop/Tablet, in both Desktop and Tablet mode the tiles on the Start screen open as expected, in Edge Chromium. In Settings>>>On startup I have it set to ""Open the New Tab page". In Settings>>>Appearance I have Customize browser>>>Show home button>>>New Tab page>>>New Tab page.
Do you have any settings that are different?
