How to remove automatic phone number hyperlinks from Microsoft Edge
I have timestamps in a web application as
1 2015-08-06 15:16:54
which continues to be decorated with the Microsoft Edge browser with links to phone numbers. I do not want this. This appears to be the "tel" protocol, and clicking on it will try to open any application configured to work with the "tel" protocol. I know there is a meta tag that you can add to pages so that they are not decorated as such on iOS devices, but how do you do that in Microsoft Edge?

The solution that works on iOS devices also works for Microsoft Edge.
Adding a meta tag,
<meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no">
will prevent the DOM document from being modified when parsed by the browser.
