List marker…

For Edge you can nuke it by specifying `list-style:none` on the relevant `<li 
/>` (not on the parent `<ul />`).
But that doesn’t work well with IE 11 (sometimes it does, though, test). The 
only way is specifying a transparent list-style-image.

Courtesy of the Jquery-UI stylesheet (someone went to the whole trouble of 
trying to create the smallest possible data URI possible…):

list-style: 
url("data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7");

If you need that, wrap it in IE specific MQ to hide from other browsers:

@media (-ms-high-contrast:none), (-ms-high-contrast:active) {}

PS - Maybe an alternative way, if you don’t need to support older IE, is 
`display: flex` to lay out your sub-nav. That would make the relevant 
list-items the equivalent of `display:block` and (maybe…) suppress the list 
marker.

PS2 - I never found a logic as to why IE/ Edge behave this way. Sometimes it 
works as it should.

PS3 - think of keyboard users…
