IMO, Arc browser reminds me of Opera many years ago (even until today). The browser itself, product strategy, etc.
"Arc has grown fast ā users quadrupled this year alone ā but it has also become clear that Arc is never going to be a truly mainstream product."
"User interviews and data have convinced the company that this is a power-user tool, and always will be."

@damon I'm also using it daily.
They have some cool UI experiments/innovations, but over time, it will saturate. The more features they have, the more bugs they have, so it'll turn into "maintenance mode" like any other software. I think the problem is more business-centric; they can't take a bigger slice of the browser market share (thanks Chromeā¦ and Safari?), and they need to make money š«£ ā same story as any cool browsers that pop up over the years
@damon possible, not sure if there'll be enough people to pay for a browser.
It'll be boring "maintenance mode" tho', no more fancy "future of browsers" visionary thing š
