-Because apparently Microsoft is so allergic to Chrome, despite being based on
-Chromium that they have to rewrite `chrome://` into `edge://` without handling
-automatic redirect from the former, so my policy for apps as new page breaks
-and suggests opening _Firefox Developer Edition_ for whatever reason.
-
-Thus separate recommended profiles for Microsoft Edge, just so this one is
-fixed.

-**_Don't expect this directory to be updated, I will probably forget it
-myself._**

-## Fedora?
-
-```bash
-# Removes all three versions of Microsoft Edge from the system.
-sudo dnf remove -y microsoft-edge-{stable,beta,dev}
-# Remove all three Microsoft Edge repositories
-rm -rv /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft-edge{,-beta,-dev}.repo
-# Removes the crontab entries to restore the above, if they didn't get removed
-# already.
-rm -v /etc/cron.daily/microsoft-edge{,-beta,-dev}
