Hijacking Browse For Me
What does this mean?
Arc Search read websites across the internet to make you this perfect tab.
Try it for free- Arc Search — Arc Search is a mobile browser developed by The Browser Company of New York.
- Browse For Me — This is Arc Search's claim to fame– an AI-powered search engine similar to Perplexity
- The Issue — There's an open API endpoint that lets you create a search page with arbitrary text. Like this one! This page is 100% human-created.
- Risks — This can be used for misinformation, as it can be used to falsify facts. Just look at the Totally Real Statement from BCNY below this section.
- The Fix — BCNY, please don't trust your client too much. Do more stuff server-side.
