Sorry, do you mean there's a terminal emulator out there which forces you to login? I'm hoping you mean it provides auxiliary (optional) functionality with a login.
Haha yes indeed that's what I meant, I suspect this is only going to become more common whether we like it or not
Personally I'd never consider using a terminal emulator that isn't Free and Open Source software.
They lost me as a potential user within the first 10 seconds and I'm probably not the exception here. No idea how you want to retain users if you lose them before they even get to test your software.
> To be fair, as an Arc user, by logging in, I can keep my tabs synced perfectly across my personal and work laptops, which is worth it for me.
I can do that with Firefox, Chrome, Brave or any other browser as well without being forced to create an account.
Oh I use Chrome too, I was under the impression that you have to sign into Google to sync bookmarks, but I guess your point is the login/account creation steps come afterwards?
