    No shit it died. They stopped supporting it and on top of it it’s a browser that requires you to be logged into an account to use, which is a turnoff to techie people who are the most likely to adopt nee things early.

    Oh and Microsoft Edge can do most of the things Arc does.

      Yep. Save reason I won’t use Kagi and I don’t use AI much. Surveillance capitalism will only ever lead to authoritarianism and dystopia. I don’t want anything to do with it.

      You can’t trust any company to not sell you out and pick your carcass clean.

    Most regular people just use what came with their computer, unfortunately.

    So this is a case of a company that made a browser to appeal to techies that didn’t see widespread adoption, is pivoting to a new browser that is focused on the central conceit of a product that most techies decry…

    Read the room, Arc. Read the room.

    I really liked the layout of Arc, but ended up going back to Firefox because uBlock still works on it.

    The Devs at the browser company said themselves that they aren’t killing Arc, it’s just on maintenance mode as they are working on another browser, an AI first one, which I have mixed feelings about personally.
