    Given their less than impressive history I won't be holding my breath.

    I personally don't need an AI based browser. But perhaps it will be handy in companies, who knows. To be honest, I'm quite satisfied with Vivaldi, it gets the job done.

    An AI browser might be interesting if it could keep employees from going places they shouldn't, but I didn't see that mentioned so I don't know if anyone else is thinking that.

    For real. Arc is still in its infancy and now this. Lol, hard pass.

    As am I. Have been using it since its release, and it does over 95% of what I require.

    Exactly, I honestly don't know why they are trying to reinvent the browser. What I like about Vivaldi are features like tab stacking. I don't see what AI would do for me personally. They should rather focus on making browsers more secure, extensions are still a huge risk. Not to forget about malware easily being able to steal cookies and passwords.

    They should also focus on making browsers less resource hungry, the amount of RAM that Chromium based browsers are using is insane, especially when using 80+ tabs. And they should focus on making adblockers even better.

    Actually now that I think about it, it's especially webservices that should be improved, the design of Yahoo Mail, Gmail and Google Maps is pretty bad. And Google Search is getting dumber and dumber. I'm also not happy with my stockbroker, which can't even correctly calculate my profit and loss. I think they rather implement AI into these webservices, instead of into browsers.

    I just came across this, quite an embarrassing bug if you ask me.
