Microsoft Edge will remain open even after closing your final tab, eliminating the need for any extensions

At present, Microsoft Edge can be closed in three ways, excluding system options such as the Task Manager. You can close the browser by selecting the "X" in the upper-right corner of the app. Alternatively, you can shut down Edge by clicking the "..." menu and selecting "Close Microsoft Edge." Lastly, closing all tabs in Edge results in the entire browser closing, at least for now.
