Quite a lot of webdevs use linux, which is a huge reason for browsers to maintain compatibility. Quite a few of the people building the browsers daily-drive linux too, which helps.
If you use a browser with experimental flags don't you expect some bugs? Just the fact that "supporting linux" means dozens of distros, DEs, WMs and two display server protocols (three if you include android and four if you also include some older ubuntu variants) means that the number of bugs is probably expected to be higher.
In short: I expect browsers to be buggier on linux, and I do not think there is a large risk they will stop supporting linux.

- SahAssar 5y agoYeah, didn't even think about chromeOS. I don't really know how separated the concept of the "application" chrome and the "display server" chromeOS are. I know chromeOS can run x11 apps, but is that within the chrome runtime or beside it? EDIT: Seems I need to read up about Freon, which is what chromeOS uses (used?) instead of wayland/x11. So yeah, at least 5.
