Issue with selenium close method after visiting internal Edge urls

[petrefort]

Issue:

I am using Selenium with python to perform actions in Edge browser

After visiting internal edge urls, such as "edge://favorites" or "edge://downloads", calling driver.close() does not work - nothing happens, browser is hanging there indefinitely, without any error message.

Example:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.edge import service

def test_edge_close():
    s = service.Service(driver_path)
    edg = webdriver.Edge(service=s)

    edg.switch_to.new_window('tab')
    edg.get("edge://favorites")
    edg.close()  # script gets stuck here - no error, nothing happens

EdgeDriver version: 133.0.3065.59
Browser version: 133.0.3065.59
Selenium version: 4.19.0

Last driver version without this issue: 132.0.2957.115

Seeing this issue as far back as driver version 132.0.2953-pre.

Here's the stacktrace. (C#/dotnet)
