play00:43

browser

play00:44

um it is a oh did he just say I heard

play00:46

about this

play00:47

Bowser that basically is made for people

play00:50

who are really bad at tab management

play00:52

like me

play00:55

play00:57

actually quite good at it

play00:59

it has honestly a ton of different

play01:00

features that I don't even fully utilize

play01:03

um but the main feature is that you have

play01:05

a bunch of pinned tabs that are here

play01:07

that never really go away okay and

play01:09

what's cool about them too is that you

play01:11

can like you can peek into them and like

play01:13

okay when we dreamed about the browser

play01:16

company and Arc browser I don't think

play01:17

you got some pin tabs over here and I

play01:20

don't really use the other feature

play01:24

features directly depending on the uh

play01:27

the apps that it is or the website that

play01:29

it is so live preview yeah a live

play01:31

preview like his top emails or yeah my

play01:33

top emails you can also like yeah like

play01:35

in my email but the main like the main

play01:38

features that's useful for me is it

play01:39

creates all of these tabs here and

play01:42

within a certain amount of time it

play01:43

erases them so I have it set for 12

play01:46

hours there's also all these other

play01:48

features where like all of your

play01:50

downloads are right here it's really

play01:52

nice which is really handy because you

play01:54

can just like drop them into areas if

play01:56

you need to like drag and drop and then

play01:58

there's like an easel feature where you

play01:59

can like create easels and notes which I

play02:02

don't even really understand this

play02:03

feature that much

play02:04

um I kind of can't believe this was an

play02:06

audio podcast like if you're listening

play02:08

play02:10

about all it's missing is a chatbot

play02:13

okay but they they up make major version

play02:16

updates to this like every three days

play02:18

like they put like huge amounts of work

play02:20

into this and they're like really

play02:21

pressing it and I've switched over to it

play02:23

on pretty much all of my computers

play02:25

play02:30

play02:50

this one of those things that's

play02:51

eventually going to get eaten by a major

play02:54

existing browser no no no no survive and

play02:56

make something I was wondering that too

play02:57

I don't think so I don't think so

play02:59

there's enough uniqueness here that I

play03:01

think it could be its own thing yeah I

play03:03

think I was telling I think I was

play03:05

telling David this I think this is what

play03:06

like Chromebooks could have been it's in

play03:09

the cafe that's making it's called the

play03:10

browser company which is a great thing

play03:13

yeah by the browser company this type

play03:16

which is very cool sounds pick is it

play03:18

free it's free cool that's awesome I

play03:21

think it's niche enough that like I

play03:22

don't know if Chrome would benefit fully

play03:24

taking over it because like I just mean

play03:27

like stealing unprotected features yeah

play03:29

like anyway yeah and I have like a bunch

play03:32

of research uh groups and you can also

play03:34

create these new

play03:36

new folder new space like spaces too oh

play03:40

man this is a I don't know how to take

play03:42

this because on one hand we're very

play03:43

proud I personally believe I wrote this

play03:46

essay a couple months ago that

play03:48

the real transformative pieces of

play03:51

Technology almost Escape explanation

play03:53

like how did you explain Snapchat the

play03:55

first time you used it or how did you

play03:57

explain notion or even the iPhone

play03:59

relative to a Blackberry so like on one

play04:01

hand I kind of love that this guy is

play04:03

struggling so hard to give like a crisp

play04:05

pitch for Arc because it means that we

play04:07

probably built something really new and

play04:09

because he is so passionate about it on

play04:12

the other hand it's like it is pretty

play04:14

painful that like we don't have a crisp

play04:17

focused this is why arc's awesome you

play04:19

need this to be multi-platform before I

play04:21

can dedicate my life to it wait do you

play04:23

use Windows at all no but I need it on

play04:24

my phone so I can like have that sync

play04:26

back and forth but yeah just just having

play04:28

like

play04:29

having the same browser everywhere is

play04:31

yeah pretty important for yeah bookmarks

play04:34

I think they'll have the mobile version

play04:36

out in a couple months so cool yeah Opie

play04:40

doesn't use an Android phone nice cool

play04:42

who wants to go next I'm using a new

play04:45

smart watch I'm wearing it the whole

play04:47

time all right that was awesome

play04:48

[Applause]

play04:50

just the positive energy and optimism

play04:52

like I think MKBHD does a great job of

play04:55

being constructively critical and honest

play04:57

a large percentage by YouTube watch time

play04:59

is watching his stuff he puts out but um

play05:02

someone and as a team that's put so much

play05:04

heart into what we've built just really

play05:06

nice to hear these folks kind of talk

play05:08

about it for so long like the name Arc

play05:10

that was controversial at the beginning

play05:12

I'm the CEO but I almost got fired by an

play05:15

Insurrection at my company because I

play05:17

came back from a trip wanted to name it

play05:19

Matt

play05:20

m-a-t-t-e it was just like I thought I

play05:22

had this aha moment the browser it

play05:24

frames the internet picture frames man

play05:28

and picture frames have mass in them

play05:31

so there's one person our team Alexandra

play05:33

she's an early engineer and she didn't

play05:35

say she would quit if we named it Matt

play05:37

but she didn't not say she wouldn't quit

play05:39

I'll be ripping

play05:41

you want to stop performing or do you

play05:42

want to keep it
