It's not about whether it's a chromium browser or not. It's about whether a browser is "trusted" and installed from a "trusted" source, like the windows store... Basically gatekeeping. Still, Firefox and any browser could still be approved.
This would be an insane damage to the Linux community since there are many different ways to install programms(including browsers).
Absolutely! I would wager a guess that something like this would require support on a package manager level, meaning that the biggest like Ubuntu or what not could have access to a functioning "trusted" browser. But good luck on a niche distro, or if you want to compile it yourself, or if you want to use certain extensions or....
What's more trusted than source code?
According to Google - probably source code that can't block ads and that is known to not block trackers... basically.
Or the API can die a quick death, like so many other Google products.
