So, I've been using the Arc Browser and they put out an update video by the CEO saying "Arc is not going anywhere" and that they are building a different product.Which basically means that work on the browser will stagnate ☠️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9yZ0JusME4

This post is not an invitation to post "just use Firefox" and "uhh Chromium bad".

@eramdam I mean, this at least confirmed that they are not pulling off Arc 2.0, which they wanted to make a paid update, in a sense of probably turning it into a subscription.Leaving Arc as is will not make people the happiest but it at least wouldn't kill the company.

@eramdam that's exactly whywith all the free alternatives, even with the features that make it unique, people will just switch to another one.(also, the other browser might use that as an opportunity to replicate the features to fish users away etc.)

@eramdam I'd only pay for Firefox if I get to know the money goes to the developers and not into the 2M CEO salary.

@pixel Wow. They chose to build arguably the most complex piece of software we have, and thought that announcing they're also building something else would go over well? 💀
