websites are the only thing we have left when it comes to self expression that's not owned by a platform

yep, but also just in general. Arc went on an AI chase that I believe ultimately did them in. All browsers are moving in that direction and I really hate it. Partly it's the times, but I also want to believe people enjoy the web and there's still room for it to exist

Arc was such an inspiration because at first that was their goal, bringing back what it meant to browse the web. Unfortunately the AI boom destroyed it :(

recently tried out zen. Kinda glitchy, similar to arc, but no ai. 

I have no doubt though…sadly, it too will come

Counterpoint: if you had a browser that was more like a workspace and could plug in to local models, it would just make using websites better.

Rated 💯 by multiple networks. Fluent in /unglish. Unbothered by /whatday of the week it is.

Allegedly a designer.

I'm skeptical I try to keep an open mind, seems interesting!

An agentic browser could be useful when you get on with a targeted action in mind

We don’t want less browsing, but what about easier answers?

eh websites will get better the less of them we use
