TL;DR: it makes Chrome faster by running it in the cloud and streaming it to your machine.
One thing I don't see anywhere on the page: pricing. No-one is going to run a giant fleet of cloud servers out of the goodness of their own heart, so either I end up paying for this service or they extract some icky level of personal information to pay for it. The site says "Your data is your data. You’re not the product", so I assume it's the former. But without any pricing details I can't really evaluate whether this is worth trying or not.
My personal method of making Chrome faster is to use Safari. It consumes way less battery and sites run more than smoothly enough for me. Everyone's situation differs, obviously, but I'm more comfortable running that locally than depending on a remote service (and a very stable internet connection!) to do my essential everyday tasks. At a bare minimum I'd want this to have an option to "downgrade" to local browsing for when I'm tethering, etc.
- danpalmer 6y agoIf you sign up to hear from them they ask how much you'd be willing to pay for it. The options are <$10/mo, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, and 50+. To me this suggests they are looking at charging similarly to tools like Superhuman which is $30 a month.
