      I think it was a pun. Arc is built on the same engine as Edge.

        So built on chromium?

        Explains why no matter what it will be down voted here. People simp for a company who has the majority of all profits from a company they hate, and call them legit.

          Yep, built on Chromium.

          But it’s okay, I kinda like the downvote game here and pissing off the extremists who baby raged on over after Reddit’s API change.

          Arc is the first company actually innovating in the browser space in two decades and I’ll happily accept that work being done on top of an open-source base that Google doesn’t control that much.

            open-source base that Google doesn’t control that much.

            I was with you until that statement. My interactions with people who work with Chromium’s code a lot, and with maintainers of open-source projects that use that code (like LineageOS), has given me a very different impression.

            (The downvotes aren’t from me, though. I don’t think they’re a useful way to express disagreement.)
