Yes. It's almost like $50M for a browser without a business model was a bad idea.
Product Hunt
@steveb Lots of startup ideas look bad in hindsight, but I'm still pulling for them. If they succeed in making a better browser that gets traction, though that's a big "if", browsers are so fundamental to how we operate on the internet - it's a potentially huge impact
.
@rajiv_ayyangar I'm with you that it'd be awfully nice if it worked out. What truly sucks is that Chrome's business model is to sell your data which effectively prices out anyone from building a browser that does not sell your data.
Product Hunt
Interesting. I've been wondering what Arc's next play is going to be. It's so rare to create a product as beloved as Arc. I imagine we'll see anybody who leaves going on to do great things. But also, with a team that talented, we could see exciting next play!

I hope not, love both the mobile app and Mac app.
