This has to be among the least informative landing pages I've seen yet. Vague marketing woo, giant hero images, scroll hijacking, sound effects, and zero screenshots.
They literally have a sliding section taking up significant scroll height that's dedicated to our solar system, and when I clicked one of the planets, expecting it to maybe reveal a usage example—I did actually get a full spiel about Mars, still with no hint of the product.
Seems like they should focus on creating a reason that I would need their search instead of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok etc. Already dropped the 20$/month subscription; not sure why I’d need it.
Citations! Perplexity does the best job with references.
Also labs seems superior to artifacts / canvas because it incorporates research in advance of building apps, enabling it to gather data for the app and check docs
LOL. This is the worst page for a product I've ever seen. No information, no screenshots. Just facts about the planets in our Solar system. Not even all the planets, where's Mercury and Venus? Not even talking about how it fails to sell me on this browser. It can't even give me planet facts properly. Companies should stop pushing their landing page work to some unpaid intern who -probably- in turn put this together from a template. I'll stick with vanilla Firefox, thank you very much.
"We wanna get data, even outside the app to better understand you," [...] "What are the things you’re buying, which hotels are you going [to], which restaurants are you going to, what are you spending time browsing, tells us so much more about you."
"Only available to the people paying $200/month"...nothing to see here
we have an open-source alternative that is ready to download -- https://browseros.com/
Cool. Where is the line skipper link for Hacker News users to see your comments?
Edit: My bad. One can exchange the download via email.

It seems like they just took a template and forgot to remove that part. It doesn't make any sense
I'm perplexed too

Anyone know how they are building this? Is it a fork of chromium?

Good luck with that. Chrome on steroids.
