This feeling that I get from the Browser Company is incredible. It’s not just a company, it’s not just a product, it’s not just another browser app. It’s a whole experience and I’m so here for it! ❤🎉
These days in remote work it's not so much having a place to access a computer as needing a public place to remote work, Coffee shops are fine but they need a separate area where you can securely lock down your own laptop. FedEx Kinko's has an area where you can access their print services but also work in their. The Cafe's are still around but they are in other places where you can access wireless - coffee shops, libraries , Kinkos, Bookstores, other restaurants like Panera as well as dedicated co-working places
I agree with this. Anywhere with reliable secure public Internet is the new and evolved version of the web cafe. Sometimes I just need to get away from home and the office to work. That’s when I head off to a Starbucks, the library, or one of our city’s quiet brunch spots.
Internet cafes have actually seen quite a significant resurgence in Ukraine with the rise of esports as a spectator sport. CS:GO and other competitive games are a major driving force powering said resurgence, and I imagine they’ve yet to reach their peak as post-war poverty will kick in and the curfews will be lifted, so I expect more places popping up that will be filled to the brim with people eager to tryhard their way to the top of the pack.
I remember my first internet experience of my life, it was in a small internet cafe in a rural mexican town, havent been to a cafe in years but this video made me feel nostalgic about those days.
here in mumbai there aren't many cyber cafes left, they used to be big thing in 2000-2010, then phone came, internet got cheap, people used to go there till like 2018-19 something to college forms, government forms., nowdays these cafe owners started uploading videos about how to fill certain form on yt, other cafes got smaller and expanded into xerox business, nowdays there are just xerox shops but people can still pay like 2-3 dollars (100-200rs) to use their pcs for like 10mins to fill like essential forms.. crazy to see businesses rapidly adapt to the environment..
One thing to note is that the purpose of internet cafes -- to give access to folks who don't have it -- is also served by libraries, which are far more ubiquitous.
Well, I would like a second (or third) part with people who lived the browser war (Netscape, Explorer, then Firefox and Chrome) from the Internet cafes... or not: ANYONE who grew up while it was happening. Anyway, I love this.
I used to go to these in Chinatown as a kid. Haven't been in ages and moved out of the city for a long time ago. They used to have, of course a lot of gamers, but also drug dealing too. I'd be surprised if it's any different now.
So… what is the internet that ARC stands for? This feels like the essential question. Is Arc the home built for everyone? Or are there certain decisions about the role and future of internet that Arc wants to build differently. I want to know the philosophies that Arc leans towards. As a fan, I want to be inspired by these philosophies. The first question here is AUTHORSHIP. For some this looks like censorship based on religious beliefs and for me might look like turning all my favorite websites green. These both seems great. But how about the censorship of content I dislike? Would Arc build features to let me build an internet that ONLY holds my same, self-reinforcing beliefs or does arc believe I should sometimes eat some vegetables. I’d lean towards an internet where everyone eats vegetables (but they can still be my favorite color). Another question is PRIVACY. We see here with the gaming kids how the internet cafes are a place to be free in ways their homes may not be… Perhaps because you can have your best friend next to you and get to play the games YOU want to play without your parents being upset. The trouble here is that underlying most privacy concerns is a sense of FEAR. Fear that your data would be used against you, fear you are being watched, also fear you will be caught doing something you probably shouldn’t be doing in the first place (esp. illegal). Does Arc stand for a privacy that acknowledges fear? Or does arc stand for a different outlook, perhaps one that seeks to establish more trust online. Perhaps optimistic, but that is the internet I’d want, but is that too high of a goal to build for in 2023? Thanks for the episode and I look forward to the next one!
I don't get the point of this video, nor I get the point of what Josh and Nash's jobs are as "storytellers". This just look like a documentary that does not says much at all
This feeling that I get from the Browser Company is incredible. It’s not just a company, it’s not just a product, it’s not just another browser app. It’s a whole experience and I’m so here for it!
❤🎉
well said, i totally agree
Doesn’t matter how large of a company you become, if you keep the same values as now, I will watch every single video you put out there.
I love these types of videos! Feels like we're getting a deeper dive into what things the browser company is into and I'm all for it!
I agree. I hope to see more of stuff like this. It wasn’t just entertaining, it was educational.
Love love love it! This was fantastic, well done guys
That face blocking filter is wild
The only browser company that makes videos about internet cafes!
love this video!! also this aspect ratio is great, feels perfectly vintage~ more like this pls!
I like how you guys are so casual about things. Not once during this video did I feel like this was a heavily produced film.
Just wow. I love it, keep em comin'!
I never knew that about pubs! Great video!
Great to see your face in this video, josh! Lovely work as always!
2:43 Colleen’s apology video 😂😂

I remember my first internet experience of my life, it was in a small internet cafe in a rural mexican town, havent been to a cafe in years but this video made me feel nostalgic about those days.

Great job!
the abba vibes are great
Thank you for being a part of the 16;10 content Revolution

great video!
This reminds me of the era of the formation of the Internet ❤.
Well, I would like a second (or third) part with people who lived the browser war (Netscape, Explorer, then Firefox and Chrome) from the Internet cafes... or not: ANYONE who grew up while it was happening. Anyway, I love this.
2:43 worst apology video of all time
nice video, didn't expect it, but don't mind it :D
Hey what's the music? Sounds kinda like Dan Deacon, shazam isn't helping me
I used to go to these in Chinatown as a kid. Haven't been in ages and moved out of the city for a long time ago. They used to have, of course a lot of gamers, but also drug dealing too. I'd be surprised if it's any different now.
Hi,arc is a very good product, but why can't my arc account log in on my macbook?😔
So… what is the internet that ARC stands for? This feels like the essential question.
Is Arc the home built for everyone? Or are there certain decisions about the role and future of internet that Arc wants to build differently. I want to know the philosophies that Arc leans towards. As a fan, I want to be inspired by these philosophies.

Yo, what is up with that Colleen Ballinger worst apology video @2:43 LOL
Well this is recent. At 2:42 you see the Colleen Ballinger video.
Oh, my God. Logging into arc is really hard. Am I doing it wrong?😮💨
android browser please!!
imo this isn't very on brand type of video for arc. this is more a vox type journalism video
10th person to comment :)
do you guys just have a paid employee just for stories
I don't get the point of this video, nor I get the point of what Josh and Nash's jobs are as "storytellers". This just look like a documentary that does not says much at all
Building the brand and vibe of the Browser Co. Also just telling stories that the Browser Co. thinks should be told.
I want to install your browser, but i have no choice, because i have windows.🥲
