With a previous build, Edge Canary 86.0.579.0, Microsoft has reverted the removal of https
and www from the address bar, and also added a flag to control it.
The flag Omnibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Subdomains Beyond Registrable Domain is actually a Chromium feature. It does not hide the mentioned elements in the address bar, and it must be used in conjunction with other flags.
Instead of it, Microsoft now uses a new flag, which is exclusive to Edge and is not available in Chromium, Chrome, and other projects.
Named Omibox UI Hide Steady-State URL Scheme, it is not set (Disabled) by default, so Edge shows https
and www
by default. If you need to hide them, set the flag to Enabled. The default configuration suits most users’ needs who were unhappy with this change.

The browser, when delivered with KB4559309, makes it impossible to uninstall it from Settings. Check out the following workaround: Uninstall Microsoft Edge If Uninstall Button is Grayed Out.
