Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Hub!
The bar you are talking about is not the address bar but is a bar that appears when you are on a different website from the website that you have installed as an app, that bar shows the name of the different website you are in.
I would recommend you to visit this conversation where I have given a solution to this problem which also appears on Amazon Prime Video with more details.

Sorry, I did and it does not solve an issue at least for non US citizens I suppose. Here in europe on login screen my url goes www.netflix.com/uk
After logging in, each and every other instance of url is not built upon /uk, rather the universal one www.netflix.com/browse so the url bar appears everywhere because of the missing /uk part of the url
In that said I cannot access any universal domain that would work on the entire netflix experience, meaning I cannot access pure www.netflix.com url without redirection to /uk or /browse depends of being or not being logged in.

Hrcorl Same here (Japan), and pretty much everywhere else outside the USA.
For myself, I solved it using a VPN (which others have suggested).
I have a top tier paid one, but there are plenty of free ones (including Opera's browser's built-in one) which should work for this "one time setting".
I agree with others though, into that shouldn't be something to recommend to just "everyone", and that this is an issue because "Netflix" is pretty much the first web anyone is going to try installing as an App (since it works so much better than the Native Windows App...).
