Seemed like a great user experience as a browser, but unfortunately I uninstalled it as soon as I launched it to a sign in screen.
- JohnFen 3y ago> It unfortunately requires an account to use the browser at all. It does? Well, that's a showstopper right there. At least I know I can safely ignore this browser from here on out, though. Thank you!
- 1123581321 3y agoI remember you! You posted something similar about Arc a few months ago in a thread I started. I hope you can ignore it this time. :) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35086116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35086116
- JohnFen 3y agoYou're so right! I'd forgotten. It will probably happen again -- I'll forget about Arc and then reinvestigate it. Apologies for the redundancy. :)
- distortedsignal 3y agoI think this is the Ouroboros of curiosity - discovery, investigation, disappointment, amnesia. If it doesn't catch, we don't really remember it. This seems very human.
- 1123581321 3y agoI'm like that with a couple of hole-in-the-wall restaurants in the area that people hype, but aren't actually good. I forget their names and visit every few years.
- JohnFen 3y agoI've watched Prometheus three times because of this. I keep forgetting not only that I've seen it, but that it's awful.
- 1123581321 3y agoHaha. That’s a bad one. You’re just straight up cursed. :)

- racl101 3y agoYeah, I bailed as soon as I got the prompt. No way Hose-A.
- fragmede 3y ago> A browser, un no circumstances, should be log-in walled. Why? Not that Arc does this, but in today's modern world, we're two device creatures; a smartphone and a laptop. How do you connect the two if not with some sort of login?
- zzo38computer 3y agoWhat if you do not want to connect the two (e.g. because you do not have two, or just because you want separate files on each)?
