People I respect like it but Google is a non starter and always was for me. Still sad to see no diversity in the browser space. I’m convinced the web, app stores, and HTTP all have to go.

It's so hard to switch browsers yet I took the leap on Arc, putting so much faith in this company that they wouldn't sell out. Such a waste of an incredible product.

Can somebody please tell me what is the business play behind The Browser Company. It has always seemed very suspicious to me, well-funded, not making money, and now this

Same as Edge & Chrome - primarily to funnel users to web pages, which in turn powers engagement/searches & ads. Once you have enough users on a browser, the business play is ad revenue.

How do Edge & Chrome collect ad revenue?
praz4HN 9/5/2025||
They don't directly, but they are the major source of ad revenue for search engines & content, since they drive both the search and page view traffic. Besides regular browsing, examples of browser features that drive ad revenue include search suggestions in the address bar, and the browser homepage (Edge defaults to msn content, used to just show msn.com earlier).

Alas the last piece of information falls into place

ARC always feels like a feature not a product. Don't see how Atlassian connection is really gonna make either better.

It has the kind of buzzwords to get executives to buy in, who will then force it on their employees. I mean, if you offered a CEO an "Enterprise AI Browser," it feels like the sort of thing they'd salivate over. Then they can go tell the investors that they're AI now and line can go up.

Interesting idea. Replace a bunch of different clients with one for purpose client but the devil we be in the details.

What was ground breaking about Arc? The tabs on the side had been possible with other browsers for a long time

Live github PRs that you are tagged in.

Arc had privacy concerns. How will those concerns be addressed by Atlassian, given they handle very sensitive data?

Hmm so those aren't alternative web browsers but "AI" crammed on top of ... chromium or something?
