Arc Browser

Ladybird, Servo and Orion can't come soon enough.

Change for the sake of change.

Why don't they start with low-hanging fruit like the buggy and slow history and bookmarks view instead of yet another redesign of the main browser interface? Are the designers bored? And stop making everything excessively round. And it kinda looks like Opera, another adware AI browser.

Looks kinda like https://github.com/nuclearcodecat/shimmer

So tired of UI refreshes of things that already work fine.

Funny, I thought of "they added more things on the window title. They did. Why not add also the URL bar there ?

Oh no, not again.

Somebody finally picked up the login autofill bug, not sure it's production ready

Whoever thought it was a good idea to have a full size address area AND a full size vertical bar at the same time needs to find their way to the door. On desktops and large laptops it's not a major problem, but smaller displays it's wasting so much space. This design feels very generic though. Doesn't really stand out from any other modern browser.

I really thought we'd be using a Firefox powered by Servo by now, but instead we're getting a second UI rewrite. At least it's not becoming a chromium wrapper.

Oh, FFS, who asked for this? Why not fix perf issues, or autofill randomly breaking requiring a restart?
