Electron works differently. It runs in process, similar to how a normal Chromium embedding works (like Chrome itself).

Mobile is a different story for sure and for many reasons. We will be bringing this same architecture to Windows. It will fit it well there, and in many ways Windows is already wel…

Glad to finally be able to share Atlas with the world last week! There's a lot of novelty under the hood. While Atlas is using Chromium, it's not built on top of Chromium in the us…

fullscreen != fullwindow Cmd+s in Arc just hides all the UI of the browser but does not change the size of the window frame. This is more akin to Chrome's add shortcut to desktop f…

What bugs will we get this time?

Yeah you end up designing models not to be logically separated but to instead isolate updates to Views. In theory those should align but they don’t always. And the method of findin…

So wish they would decouple SwiftUI from the OS releases and opensource it!

I’m excited to try this out. The idea of cloud hosted browsers is not new, but this approach seems really promising. In this era of connectivity and cloud compute, it makes so much…

Nope. Chrome usage is free traffic to google.com/search. Chrome usage is the high order bit. The rest is gravy.

DDG is just repackaged Bing with their own ads inserted.

Working on much of this at Neeva. We have a free tier, no ads cluttering the results. Just focused on the user experience. We also offer a premium tier for those who are keen to su…

This is why I left Google to join Neeva. Check us out. Unlike the alternatives, we are truly investing in our search stack. Unfortunately there’s just too much inertia with the ads…

Yes you are correct. Google Desktop Search. Connected Apps in Neeva is similar but better. It supports indexing more apps, like Figma and GitHub.

Exactly. Notice how "I'm feeling lucky" is only on the home page and not part of the search experience when using Chrome or any modern browser where you search from the URL bar? Wo…

I was talking about mobile. As for desktop, Instant Search was serving up full page results instantly, which included ads. That's a different thing altogether, and of course, in th…

Actually, just taking the ads out of the experience can make for a simpler and better search experience. I think the google founders knew this too ( https://www.reddit.com/r/degoog…
