   If it's anything like the RPM-based logic, there's a daily cron job that resets this -- https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/1r4rph8/comment/o60ewep/

   I would also like to request that this be fixed.
   I am installing Microsoft Edge via Ansible, and it is really causing problems:

   Incidentally, this is not the first time I have had problems with Microsoft repositories and keys, so it would be nice if you could pay more attention to this.
   I'm also surprised how the browser managed to change the contents of a file that is writable only by the root user.
