Edge Apps history showing in Browser history

[Randy Conrad]

Where I do enjoy alot of the features of Edge. One has puzzled me.

I do enjoy being able to create an App from a website, I also enjoy how it shows up as a legit app, even in Add Remove Programs.

However, I mentally keep the browser and the apps separate in my mind.  Edge however does not.  For me, when I close out the browser, and I have "Continue where I left off" set.  Imagine my disappoint when I open up the browser, and what opens is the web page of the last "App" that I closed.  and my actual browser history is buried further down in the History feed.  Also frustrating, its not remembering the group of tabs that I had open, instead each link's history in listed individually. Some of these links I have not opened in over a week, so they are buried even further.

So for now the lesson is, always close out Edge last, and not an Edge App.

I will troubleshoot this more, because I really want it to work.

It would appear that I confused Edge with Edge Dev.  Browsing History is still there...

However, Edge App history does show up in Edge History.  Would be nice if I could turn on and off that feature.

This is great feedback, @Randy Conrad. 

We are currently working through a more comprehensive design in this space based on feedback we've gotten (as well as a few bugs we may have shipped). Our principle here is to be deterministic in our approach so that when you say "Continue where I left off..." and have apps running, we will always restore in the same way.

Changes in this area are coming soon.
