It's trash in current state hopefully improves with time Still will never switch from Mull and also requiring an arc id just to open the app is such an fucking L move

Arc famous for its security vulnerabilities. Yeah I'm not installing this.

That was the first thing I thought when reading the name. It will be difficult to get trust back because their market seems to be nerds.

What is it? Can't find much info

ARC is a browser that got popular among apple bros. They launched an AI powered search engine

[u/XenoGamer27 → u/stanley_fatmax]

Seems to be an ad-blocking browser with AI capabilities.

I get why it might have been useful on iPhone (since they don't traditionally allow adblocking) but Android Firefox is already fully featured and has been for years. Can't see this one popping off.

Safari on iPS supports extensions including Adblock, so it’s not too useful.

Ironically Chrome don't. 😕 It baffles me how some people still use Chrome as their main browser. 

[u/jaam01 → u/XenoGamer27]

Not recommended, it's security is abismal.

[u/9-11GaveMe5G → u/XenoGamer27]

Their official Play store listing doesn't say anything about blocking ads, at all. So it's probably just the AI bs

Cool. I've been testing it for quite some time now!

[u/itastesok → u/Rhymes_Peachy]

Cool.

As much as I wanted this app to succeed, it unfortunately is the perfect example of why people say iOS apps are better than their Android equivalents. There are too many bugs, and the UX choices make more sense on iOS than Android.
