    Great questions! > How does the website possibly detect that I'm on a cellular network when I'm a) use Firefox (which doesn't implement the NetworkInformation API) and b) use a VPN…

    Great question! All cached data is both fragmented and encrypted. When a node sends data to another peer, it doesn't know 1) what data it's sending nor 2) which website that data i…

    Very! The lifetime of nodes is actually quite a bit longer than 5 minutes as the tab doesn't need to be foregrounded (which Google Analytics and others report as the end of the 'se…

    We designedly built Arc to be the antipode of cryptominers. See https://arc.io/faq#is-arc-a-cryptominer . =] Arc plays nicely with adblocks. And users are always presented (via Arc…
