So what we are supposed to shut up and move on ?

Not criticize that :

- "won´t ever sell your data" is an empty promise

- "We never sell your data, and we’ll only share it in the following circumstances: With our Service Providers" O yeah they don't sell just share ... (with a list of what a Service provider may be but not what it may not be).

- "Why do we collect personal data? Protect against fraud" strange would have not listed that first.

And no amount of using it will change anything for those points.



> "won´t ever sell your data" is an empty promise

Especially if they don't mention who do they milk money from. You'd have to be very naive to install this.

Only if you have better things to do. I've personally cleared my day to work on a "CharlesW DESTROYS Arc Browser SaaS Model for 43 Minutes" YouTube response.


Well I certainly come to HN because some people take the time to criticize.

Share the link when you are finished with your video it might interest me since with a quick perusal of the website I couldn't find anything on their SaaS model.


I just mean that some people will value things like being able to sync their browser sidebar, and won't be bothered by needing an account to do so, and some people will never do that. If you're of the latter sort, then Arc isn't for you.
