Thoughts on Arc - macwright.com

I am not a regular user of the Arc browser, as I’ve mentioned before. But that’s been for personal-preference reasons: I close my tabs very often, so the UI that was oriented toward lots of tabs, open for a long time and neatly organized, wasn’t the tradeoff that I wanted. I definitely wrote a tweet or two about how Arc, despite being a very new browser, was not a new browser engine but another Chromium project - something that’s technically true and annoying but irrelevant for most people. See also, all the projects that say that they’re an “operating system” but end up being Android skins or layers on Linux.

Anyway, The Browser Company is no longer going to focus on Arc and they’re going to build something new. There’s a good YouTube video about this from their CEO. I have some thoughts.
