Hold onto your bookmarks, folks! The Browser Company has just decided that open-sourcing its cult-favorite Arc browser is not going to happen—at least, not anytime soon.
In the wild world of web browsing, Arc was the hipster kid on the block, but after launching its second browser, Dia, last year, it seems like Arc is taking a much-needed vacation from new features. Josh Miller, the CEO, has dropped some juicy details, admitting he even pondered selling or letting the world play with the source code. But, in a shocking twist that would make even a soap opera writer blush, he decided against it.
Why? Well, Miller’s protective instincts kicked in. Opening the code would mean parting ways with their top-secret development kit, a.k.a. the “secret sauce” that makes Arc one trendy browsing tool.
For now, Dia remains in alpha testing, but rest assured, the Arc members will soon get exclusive access. So, if you’re a tech enthusiast hoping to tinker with the insides of Arc, you might have to wait a little longer. But hey, patience is a virtue, right?
So what’s the takeaway? The Browser Company is holding onto its secrets tighter than a hipster clinging to their vinyl records. But who knows? Maybe one day, the gates will open, and we can all have a little peek behind the curtain. Stay tuned!
