On Tuesday, The Browser Company made its unusual new web browser, Arc, widely available on desktop for the first time.
I downloaded it this morning, and have been setting it up and familiarizing myself with its UI over the past few hours. First thoughts…it takes some getting used to, but I’m beginning to really like its organization potential.
I’m interested but I’m wary. They have their series A funding but… what’s the end goal here? How are they going to monetize this?
Not sure but you can’t even use the browser without giving them an email address and creating an account. Thought that was a bit off.
They made a video on their YT a while back talking about their monetization plans. You can check their YT page, but from what I remember they were planning on a for-profit enterprise version while keeping the consumer level free. I might be a bit off on the specifics.
Which, best of luck to them. I hope that works out, but that model has been tried with little success for a lot of companies over the years.
Yeah that’s not instilling confidence but I’ll check the YT. Thanks
