Tl;dr Tabs, and especially every browser maker's recent obsession with grouping them, is just silly. Over the decades, we've learnt that the ultimate navigation is Search and not wasting time clickin...

You can install your web apps in Edge and use them in separate window(s).
press Edge's (...) button => Apps => install this site as an appedit: fixed typo

What are you suggesting exactly?
remove tabs and use the browser address bar/omnibox to switch to different open web pages?
p.s the address bar already has a similar option. e.g. when you have an Instagram profile in a tab open and then type in the address bar "insta...", the browser offers you to switch to that tab.

- Biscuits24_Mar 04, 2021Copper ContributorThanks for your reply, HotCakeX.
I'm suggesting that we go back to a time before browsers had tabs, altogether. That is, separate browser windows for what currently exist in a given tab. Therefore, browsing a new site means opening another Edge.- HotCakeXMar 04, 2021MVPI personally wouldn't want that.
FWIW, people are usually asking for more tabs, not less. like tabs for file explorer, tabs for Office apps etc.- Biscuits24_Mar 04, 2021Copper Contributor
I do think tabs have a place for when the nature of the work is related. But browsers are special - the things I do in one tab typically has nothing to do with things I do in another.
Desktop apps seem to find their place in the task bar, but Web apps just don't - not unless we package them in special ways, anyway. For some reason, we access Web apps all from the same shell/window, and this is the very reason why we're faced with the problem of having to organise them in there in the first place.
