@matt Their original idea for a mobile helper app to the desktop browser was so much more in line with the Browser company I was rooting for.

@NateBarham Yeah, their companion apps was too limited for me, but absolutely, all I want is a mobile version of the desktop app that syncs my tabs, but they seem uninterested in making that.

@matt oh man I was kinda feeling like I was the only one feeling the ick. I even started playing with Firefox as a possible primary work browser. Or Safari (my long time personal browser) now that it has profiles.

@scottlougheed Yeah, I said something snarky about it a few weeks ago and someone replied “wait, people don’t like this? It seems like everyone loves it”

@matt „But if you listen to them lately, namely their CEO“ did he say stupid shit again?

matt, 3 months ago

@cliophate nothing new in the past few weeks, I was just referring to his series of interviews he did around when Arc Search released.

@matt If a browser company thinks the only reason I use a browser is to search for things, that’s not the browser for me. Reading is a prominent scenario for some of us and there’s no need for search or AI in that context.

@DavidAnson Yeah, 100%. My real hope is that they’re going too hard on their marketing for this feature and are suggesting things they don’t really mean…but we’ll see.

@matt I really love a spicy Birchtree post in the evening 😋

@nileane Sometimes you just feel spicy about something! They’re good fun to write, too 😝
