the developers working with firebase should enforce common-sense document crud restrictions in the rules. that's just how firebase is. everyone knows it. now, when talking about ARC BROWSER, i am seriously starting to doubt the competence of the team. I mean, if the rules are broken (no tests? no rules whatsoever?), what else is broken with ARC? are we to await a data leak from ARC? any browser recommendations with p…

Too late to edit... i just got around to checking and I do have system wide reduced motion and reduced transparency on this laptop. I'm sure I didn't set it up on there, just on the phone. I think Apple is starting to sync too much...
That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to sync. Accessibility settings are exactly the type of thing you shouldn’t have to configure again and again on every device. Either way, you can disable syncing of system settings.
No, because I disabled motion on my phone because the wiggling of icons on the main screen annoyed me, not because I have motion sickness. Nothing wiggles on the desktop (yet). This option doesn't even belong in accessibility IMO, it should be a "stop annoying me" section.

Where? The same spot where I can disable syncing the clipboard? I.e. somewhere deep in an undocumented file?
There are a lot of major security vulnerabilities in the world that were made understandably, and can be forgiven if they're handled responsibly and fixed. This is not one of them. In my opinion, this shows a kind of reputation-ruining incompetency that would convince me to never use Arc ever again.
What is Arc?
I just wanted to say, I enjoyed the little pixel art cat that runs towards wherever you click immensely. It’s one of those fun, whimsical little touches that I don’t see all that often. A reminder that the internet can be a fun, whimsical place if we want it to be :)

Vivaldi may also be worth a look. Similar setup: User-oriented team, vertical tabs, e2ee sync. If you like a thorough browser history, I think Vivaldi keeps a more detailed browsing history than most other Chromium browsers.

It is distracting and annoyed me, I stopped reading because of it.

I was similarly fascinated by the stylistic choices made here. No capitalisation of even any names, no hyphen in a compound adjective, but dots and commas and spaces are deemed necessary, also before "and" where the word clearly acts as separator already. If you look at the waveform of speech, we have no spaces between regular words so, if they want to eliminate unnecessary flourishes... though perhaps (since text la…
It’s just another dumb social media trend, like tYpiNg LiKe tHiS. Hopefully it too will phase out. Search for “lowercase trend” and you’ll find reports of it going years back, there’s nothing worth being fascinated about. It has seeped into HN as well. Look closely and you’ll notice several commenters type like that.
And nobody tYpEs lIkE tHiS except when making a joke.

I don't see an issue, using something like Firebase is what a smart engineer would do. Just this one piece of logic is a problem.
I tend to agree with this. Why re-invent the wheel by spending engineering effort building a CRUD backend? If you're trying to bring value to market, focus on your core differentiator and use existing tooling for your boilerplate stuff.
It’s not only not a smart engineering decision, it’s also a terrible product, reputation and marketing decision.
