Then, one day, Google got into the web browser game and everything changed.
It was particularly dark for free software users who had to fiddle with Wine in order to run Internet Explorer running if they wanted to use things like banks and government services in some countries. It was a sad and dark time for the Internet. A lot of websites, specially custom-made ones for internal corporate use, required Internet Explorer 6 to function properly. Microsoft's own Internet Explorer web browser used to be the dominant force dictating what "developers" did and did not do. Internet Explorer version 6 running on Linux using Wine. They have now confirmed that they will be releasing a GNU/Linux version of their upcoming Chromium-based Edge browser. It appears that even Microsoft is able to do this. Chromium is multi-platform which makes it trivial to port browsers based on it to a variety of platforms. Future versions of their Edge browser will be based on Google's Chromium web browser and use it's "Blink" rendering engine. Microsoft's announced that they gave up on their own web browser rendering engine a while ago.
