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've seen ARC browser before, downloading to check it out. The question is though, what about the browser needs changing? Other than the need for alternatives to Chrome? I'm a Brave user now, but was a fan of RockMelt several years ago because it put socials at the forefront. I was a college kid at the time, so overload was desirable. Now, not so much.
