Cannot remove/update NTP tab issue

[DPetkovic-dev]

So as soon as a new tab is opened in the browser, I've got the logic to close it instantly using Chrome API's tabs.remove feature.
While it works fine on other browsers that are built on Chromium engine and tabs get closed immediately, Edge uses to throw an error saying "Cannot remove NTP tab."

The issue would be solved by making a redirection before closing the tab (Chrome API's tabs.update), which would remove its status of "NTP tab". However, on some devices then I encountered the same type of error "Cannot update NTP tab." and it seems like any action on a new empty tab cannot be made on Edge browser there.

Waiting for the tab to be fully loaded (complete status) before trying to close/update it again hasn't solved an issue.

Image provided displays the mentioned error message.
