You can install your web apps in Edge and use them in separate window(s).

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.
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.

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.- HotCakeXMar 04, 2021MVP
