Since last year, we have seen Microsoft seeking to revamp its browser by using the Chromium engine to replace the previously used owner, which has somewhat helped to make it available in earlier versions of Windows and also for the Mac, surpassing the exclusivity of the “standard” version, which is only seen in Windows 10.
However, it seems that the Mountain View giant intends to take an even bolder step when it comes to availability, and may soon release a release for Linux distros as well, closing the release and becoming available on all operating systems.
The suspicion that this could happen increased with the emergence of a tweet by developer Sean Larkin on his Twitter account, with a form for collecting opinions about web development on Linux.

Remember that this would not be a surprising thing to do, given that in recent years, Microsoft has been showing some interest in Linux and providing support to developers either through WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or the arrival of Skype for the open-source system.
