Smaller? They seem on-par with most of the popular forks (Brave, Vivaldi etc)? The Browser Company raises $50M at a $550M valuation | TechCrunch / (mirror ).
tbf, Arc is all-in on the cloud+AI thing (adding new security vulns) which some of the volunteer-maintained forks won’t have money for (thankfully, enough).

This is a wonderful read
Lessons… on recommending products / services because they “work well” but not actually pay attention to what they do versus whatever they say in their marketing including privacy policies (which has become another form of just that).
This is something I raised in a subsequent email to them. I really like for example how Hashicorp does this: Subprocessors
I think their policy is a bit bare bones and could do with improvements.
Then, what’s the point of NextDNS “storing” logs in Switzerland, if they’re going to be streamed through GCP servers worldwide (because if GCP is streaming logs stored in Switzerland through Indian servers, then Indian laws apply and GCP will comply with those laws)? PrivacyGuides makes it seem as if “storing” logs in the EU etc is a positive thing: You can choose retention time and log storage location for any logs you choose to keep, or disable logs altogether.
You could really argue that about any provider who uses any third party whether it be Azure, AWS or some other platform. If that is the new criteria we should just ban any service that doesn’t own their own servers and not single out GCP specifically.
That will basically mean we’re left with very few services/reliable services and will be throwing out a huge amount of products which actually do work well
