Josh Miller says his company isn’t leaving Arc behind, but it's back to building the “operating system for the internet” it always hoped to create.
Stop me if this sounds familiar: The Browser Company is building a browser that it thinks can make your internet life a little more organized, a little more useful, and maybe even a little more delightful. It has new ideas about tabs, and what your browser can do on your behalf. I’ve heard this story before! But the browser that Browser Company CEO Josh Miller wants to talk about when he calls me on Thursday isn’t Arc, the product he and his team have been working on for the last five years.
It’ll get stability updates and bug fixes, and there’s a team at The Browser Company dedicated to those. “In that sense,” Miller says, “it feels like a complete-ish product.” Most of the team’s energy and time will now be dedicated to starting from scratch. “Arc was basically this front-end, tab management innovation,” Miller says. “People loved it. It grew like a weed. Then it started getting slow and started crashing a lot, and we felt bad, and we had to learn how to make it fast.
