    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.

      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.)

      Imagine being annoyed that the only way the site resembles functional in any way was taken away from you, while the CEO of the site also spews stacks of provably false lies and personal attacks at the people who actually made the site function.

      And even for the crazy people that were somehow OK with the terrible desktop experience, their experience was still reliant on third party apps, because they’re the ones who made all of the modding tools necessary just to handle obvious blatant spam.

        Look at this comment with -20 downvotes and tell me this place isn’t an echo chamber filled with one way to think.

        I’ll take Reddit’s shitty practices over this place’s community.

          Because Reddit isn’t an echo chamber.

          Reddit doesn’t just have shitty practices. It is no longer functional to anything resembling an acceptable level.
