Is there anything in the directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d'?

Per my understanding, any files in that directory will be read as if
their contents were part of /etc/apt/sources.list itself.

It's entirely possible that a third-party package may install a file
there pointing to a repository where the packagers expect to publish
updates to that package.

If you've installed one or more packages which does this, then that
repository wound up getting taken down or misconfigured, you could see
this behavior.

For this, you'd need to either remove the repository that was added for
updating Edge, or obtain the public key for that repository and
configure your system to recognize it (offhand I don't remember how to
do that latter, but I think it involves special syntax in the
/etc/apt/sources.list* file).
