Unfortunately, this is built in into Edge HTML parsing. There is no setting or plugin that performs this.

Microsoft expects HTML designers to add the following meta in the HTML head section.

    Sadly I have no "Skype Click to Call". I only have "Skype™ 7.3" and "Get Skype".

    I have uninstalled both "Skype™ 7.3" and "Get Skype". Microsoft Edge still highlights some of the IP addresses and asks me to download app from the store.
