Decent breakdown there.

Nice. Thanks.

“In the mobile app, the default search engine is Google and cannot be changed at this time.”

And all of their AI API features are either OpenAI or Anthropic

Just FYI in case either of those matter to you.

And as with anything these days, if there ends up being a merger or an acquisition, all of your data will eventually belong to whomever inevitably absorbs Arc.

Just something to consider.

Anyway, I have been playing around with it once in a while for over a year and am definitely impressed with how they’ve reimagined the browsing experience. Creative folks, for sure.

I actually haven't tried the mobile app to thoroughly, initially it was just a sync from the web client and you couldn't do anything else. Pity about not being able to change search currently alright.

I'd say you're spot on in regards to your point about merger, that looks like what they are setting themselves up for.

Once you have it set up into different spaces it's hard to go back to a more traditional browser imo.
