Hi @Michael ,
After some investigation, I've got some findings that I'd like to share with you.
- The behaviour of hiding the URL of a new tab is by design, mainly driven by security concerns, such as Start Page or New Tab Page spoofing.
- I tried SharePoint, and not all subsequent pages hid their URL when navigated to. But in Outlook, I failed to find any subsequent page displaying its URL. Also, Gmail behaved in the same way.
Since you've said end users shouldn't worry about it, I have 2 workarounds for you:
- Replace New Tab with Home Page. Users won't have their home page URL hidden. To configure the home page URL, please configure this policy: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#homepagelocation
- Try adding the target site to your Favorites, which is one-click away just like users opening a new tab.
