Lots of developers and power users make a good chunk of Arc's use base. If you're after some interesting credentials then "every Arc user" is a perfect group with little noise.

Not that many. Most power users don't like to be forced for logging in, before they are able to use the browser.

    If I had to guess, the typical Arc user is a Mac user in tech. It doesn't run on Linux, most windows users wouldn't run it, and non-tech people haven't heard of it.

    Then most engineering IC people will most likely run Firefox or Chrome, so you're probably looking at designers/founders/managers as your target.

    Probably some interesting targets there, but not the type that the NSA cares about. Just pure conjecture on my part of course ;).

      The only person I ever saw using Arc was a designer at a tech startup, so this checks out.

        I've seen quite a few. In one of my clients's Slack there are at least a couple people advocating for it all the time. They're mostly DLs or in similar roles. I also know at least one developer who uses it.

        I used it for a while for a very limited use case. Some interesting concepts. Mostly I found it annoying though. I also didn't like the sign-in thing but still wanted to experiment. I have dropped it altogether and kept Firefox as main browser (as it's been for many years) and Safari as a secondary. Both work much better overall for my needs.
