I have no idea if the Browser Company (Arc) will succeed in reinventing the browser, but I'm bullish that one of their alumni will. Browsers are such an entrenched model that it will require someone having to think from absolute scratch which is really hard to do. Which brings me to the point of crypto and open-source. Arc can accelerate their mission by open-sourcing some of their technology and having some of it managed via token governance. They get to push the mission forward, allow others to innovate, and find a way to share upside. Sure the token doesn't "do" anything. Maybe it's not an ERC-20, but an open edition where supporters can send revenue to Browser + open-source community treasury to push it forward. There are going to be a lot more models of software funding / pushing the envelope in the medium-term. Higher.

I'm totally sold on there thesis, except: they are one layer to low. OS or Bust.

Why do you think that? Also assume you mean… one layer too high*?

Low/high depends on your perspective. If you’re thinking like an engineer, too high. If you’re thinking like a business, too low. Everything they are targeting (personal context, local execution, cursor driven actions, background processes) are a subset of all compute if they are trapped in the browser. Anyone that executes this at the OS-level renders them obsolete.
