What part of Arc feels abandoned? I still use as my primary browser.
- deanc 2y agoThe part where they say they are not developing it further. CEO discussing it further here: https://x.com/joshm/status/1850717644779110643 https://x.com/joshm/status/1850717644779110643 They have not shipped anything but browser updates and minor fixes for months.
- baal80spam 2y ago> They have not shipped anything but browser updates and minor fixes for months. I would LOVE my browser to do just that!
- deanc 2y agoThis isn't the problem though. The problem is they have completely pivoted in this other direction and are working on a new browser. It will only be a matter of time before they abandon Arc and then you won't get the security fixes, blink updates etc. It's also not currently OSS so it's not possible to fork it and continue elsewhere.
- schnable 2y agoThe fixes are really really minor. Larger functional bugs that aren’t catastrophic are hanging out. That said, it’s been fine for me and I’m still using it. I don’t see any reason to abandon it yet. When the company fails maybe they’ll open source or sell it. I’d happily pay for this.
