My favourite browser is about to die

The Browser Company of New York has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Atlassian.

Sigh. I guess the good times had to end at some point. Please let me know when an open source fork releases. Maybe I'll start toying with Orion more, but I'm not convinced it's without issues.

RIP, Arc. The vertical tabs, PIP, and profile-switching spaces were truly revolutionary browser innovations in a space where nothing interesting is happening. If they were proud of selling out, they wouldn't have disabled the comments on the announcement video, which is going to be leaning hard on dislikes.

Someone stop the acquisition wars. There's no fun left.
