-## browserconfig.xml
-
-The `browserconfig.xml` file is used to customize the tile displayed when users
-pin your site to the Windows 8.1 start screen. In there you can define custom
-tile colors, custom images or even [live tiles](https://docs.microsoft.com/previous-versions/windows/internet-explorer/ie-developer/samples/dn455106(v=vs.85)).
-
-By default, the file points to 2 placeholder tile images:
-
-* `tile.png` (558x558px): used for `Small`, `Medium` and `Large` tiles.
-  This image resizes automatically when necessary.
-* `tile-wide.png` (558x270px): user for `Wide` tiles.
-
-Notice that IE11 uses the same images when adding a site to the `favorites`.
-
-For more in-depth information about the `browserconfig.xml` file, please
