Editing an apparmor profile

I had Suckless' Surf installed but had troubles using it with pages not opening and apparmor denies in dmesg. This post is not a tutorial but just a reminder on how to edit the profile for an executable, in this case /usr/bin/surf. The profile is located at /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.surf and can be augmented with the file at /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.bin.surf. The second file is included in the first one, and I indented its content similarly as how it would be indented had it been written directly in the including file (but I’m not sure this is required).
