my brother uses arc browser , he is a developer . I think he saw it from somebody using it (maybe theo t3 or some other creator he watches) , and he found it cool (plus there were lot of videos flooded with saying arc is really great IDK)

If someone finds something cool on the internet. They are going to try it , given that they are capable to do so.

He had a mac so he was able to do so , Even I tried to run arc on windows once when it was really beta and only available to mac (I think now it supports windows not sure)

I just kindly want to state that if the nsa could've bought this exploit , they could've simply waited and maybe even promote arc themselves (seems unlikely)

Maybe they could've tried to promote the numbers of arc users by trying to force google and microsoft search engine through some secret shady company advertising / writing blog posts for arc / giving arch funding or like how we know that there are secret courts in america

( and since these search engines basically constitutes for a high percentage of discovery of stuff by search engine by users)

People could've credited the success to arc in that case for getting more users but the real winner would've been NSA.

How? I have mac as well but when I've download it some time ago it required login. Has that changed?

    No. You still need to create a login.

    Everyone else at work likes it, so I signed up with my work e-mail address and use it for work. All of my complicated browsing needs are done for work, so there's a good fit there.

    no I meant that though you need to login , i think arc isn't available on linux , only mac (or maybe windows though not sure , I see some issues + the security issue)

    Ye it required login and my brother logged in (just see ! , the amount of friction to login etc. yet my brother , whom I would consider to be a little conscious of security still gave to try it in the first place)

    sry if I didn't respond correctly
