Linux is pretty similar and even easier than macOS, there is a google-chrome binary in PATH and it can be parsed to any of the channels. (google-chrome --version)

Research direction
Review the existing browser info module in the repository to understand how macOS and Google Chrome detection is implemented. Then extend it to support Windows by using commands like `wmic` or detecting Chrome paths, and for Firefox by using its version command on each platform. Check the issue comments for additional input from maintainers or contributors.
