IE11 legacy sites configured in Enterprise site list still try to open in Edge Chromium
craighZA Hello! I believe the IE mode team made a change starting with Microsoft Edge Canary Channel build 88.0.698.0 that should fix the issue with the "leftover" open tab in MS Edge.
Would you be able to test with V88? Currently it has been released to the Beta Channel and coming later this month to the Stable Channel. Microsoft Edge release schedule | Microsoft Docs
Thanks!

craighZA in my experience, it is possible an authentication or other background get request could be causing the redirection to fail or redirect back to Edge mode. In which case you may need to define the authentication url (or other background urls) as neutral. Can use debug>Network or some other capture tool such as Fiddler to see the requests.
e.g
<site url="website.com">
<compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
<open-in>IE11</open-in>
</site>
<site url="sso.website.com">
<compat-mode>Default</compat-mode>
<open-in>none</open-in>
</site>
Thanks DugTan - I don't think this is the case, as the website opens up perfectly fine when navigating directly to the page via IE11 - it is only when clicking on a hyperlink or shortcut of the legacy website that both IE11 and Edge Chromium opens.
