Is is possible that in future browsers will recognize TypeScript ?

Nothing is certain but at this stage it seems a bit unlikely. Don't know about the far future :)
Browsers have virtual machines that are highly optimized towards JS and, increasingly, WebAssembly. TypeScript transcompiles to JS so there's no advantage in adding such tooling inside the browser.
If your target is JS you can keep using TS, if your target is WebAssembly then you can use tools like AssemblyScript, which is basically a reduced version of TS, or any other language that compiles to WASM.
There is little future in supporting another script language. There is more future in a compiled web environment (i.e. WASM). TypeScript would compile directly to WASM instead of the horrible unfixable mess of JavaScript.
Typescript being just a superset of JavaScript (JavaScript with type anotations) it could happen. You just need to remove two things from typescript for this to happen:
And to contradict other people that talked about wasm, transpiling typescript to wasm is an horrible Idea. See last video of the developpers at typescript conf why it is horrible.
"OMG, I can now write (insert language here) for the client!"

I'll probably be the dissenter here, but if the main browsers adopt it...meh. I don't really see a reason... with the caveat that just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. You do you... just don't mess with JS ;-)
