What browser are you using?


Not OP, but it's not currently working in Netscape 4.5. At least I assume it isn't (haven't tested). Happy Halloween!


This high pitched noise issue happened to me last week using noise cancellation on a flight, but I was using Airpods 4 (not Pro). I think this problem isn't only limited to the Pro models

Are any of the jobs remote friendly? Saw one was interested in Rust experience but had hybrid requirement


It's been dead a loooong time


Was it ever alive? I never understood the premise. It’s for, what, people who feel they don’t spend enough money and are looking for new things to subscribe to? Is that a big market?


this guy never misses


$610M, all cash??? How were they worth that much... all they seemed to ever do was rebrand


"Arc isn’t just a Chromium fork. It runs on custom infrastructure we call ADK — the Arc Development Kit. Think of it as an internal SDK for building browsers (especially those with imaginative interfaces). That’s our secret sauce. It lets ex-iOS engineers prototype native browser UI quickly, without touching C++."

A UI framework? What’s the other $608m for?


Yeah, I kinda read that as "it's not just a chromium fork with additional code. the code is organized. nobody has ever done that before!"


Or... A UI framework? what's the other $612m for?


Just like the old Carlin joke. Made me chuckle.


I wanted you to know that, due to this comment, I "lost" approximately 45 minutes watching George Carlin's best jokes


What was the joke?


Is a browser SDK for iOS worth that kind of money targeted users who are comfortable with Objective-C and not C++ even a market of note.

It would be one thing if they said it is for say JS developers or something a-la electron there are plenty of apps from MS teams to slack to linear etc who perhaps would pay for that enough, but swift /objective C dev not comfortable with c++ would be minuscule market ?


ObjC is mostly dead, and most Swift devs are not comfortable with C++.


C++ isn't all that much harder or different from Swift to learn. They play fairly well with each other, you can import and call C++ quite easily from Swift.

It is not like switching from a REPL, browser friendly,inferred typed forgiving language like say JavaScript to Rust with the occasionally cryptic compiler, the unforgiving borrow checker and ownership concepts.

Perhaps people are less comfortable with the libraries and SDKs and tooling from the C++ world for app development. I didn't imagine that such a market was worth buying a company for $610M in 2025 when most apps are web based in one way or other.


Sounds perfect for Atlassian's love of "imaginative" interfaces.


For all those playing at home: this blog post contains 46 em-dashes.


that's kinda funny since that's basically exactly how firefox does it with the chrome of the browser being javascript and html and css itself.


How's that different from Electron?


Probably a Swift wrapper for the Chromium Embedded Framework.


Cool, but $600m cool? I don't see how.


100% agree. The odds of this investment paying off feel slim to none.


It would have made sense if they had a large user base or groundbreaking tech, but they are just a Chrome fork with a very niche set of users.


Probably they were just chasing the hype because the word AI appeared in the browser, considering the news mentions “browser with AI features”. So does their acquisition news.

I hope I am wrong.


I mean have you seen some of the valuations for VSCode forks with some AI slapped on haha. I agree that this seems a lot for what I assume is a product with no solid revenue stream


stoked for this, think it will be great for Codex!


I actually feel a little bit disappointed as they no longer rolls out new features after oct 1st :(


as much as i want something like this to exist... fool me once, shame on thee; fool me twice, shame on me

with that being said, good luck!


thanks


unfortunately google marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i've requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted :(


No no, I assume it's because it impersonates Hacker News, a popular website. The Details even says this: it thinks you are trying to phish for hackernews sign ins.

Probably not much you can do about it


I clicked through all of the Chrome and Google warnings, but now even my national ISP has blocked the site.


ugh yeah this just happened, chrome marked it as "unsafe", I assume because I have a feature that is supposed to simulate popup ads

i requested a review from them, but no idea when that will actually be lifted


I doubt the review will succeed, mimicking other sites is explicitly one of the criteria they mark unsafe for.

Like I know this is just a joke site not meant to trick people, but it still runs afoul of google's unsafe website criteria by being a site whose sole purpose is being a MITM.


yeah i kind of doubt it too, but i'm hoping they have some review process for parody. it's a bummer it didn't even get a day of life :(


it might help to have an obvious/thick window decoration around the pane of the site you are cloning, similar to the large header archive.is shows to make it more clear you aren't trying to fool anyone.

Though with a google review who knows if a human will ever even see your appeal...?
