Would you guys ever consider making an "Ungoogled Arc Browser" ?

Basically, Arc Browser, but with all the spyware features removed just like for Ungoogled Chromium.

No because it is out-of-scope of the project.

And it is not possible anyway unless The Browser Company open sources all their codes.

Have you attempted to do so? What are your results?

  1. Have you tried it?
  2. I doubt if this is legal.

No, I'm not a swift/C++ developer, this is why I came here to ask.

Then I already told you the answer, which is no.

I am not aware of any decompiler that decompiles Swift (or even C++) built binaries straight into source. A decompiler exists, but what came out of it is usually not helpful unless lots of manual work are put into the reverse engineering work.

Again, reverse engineer a product is not in the scope of the project, even though it contains Chromium. Providing another ungoogled browser isn't. This is the first thing I told you.

I'm not a lawyer, and I don't spend my time reading laws, but I do believe reverse engineer some company's proprietary software to provide a modified version of it is not legal anywhere.

So, TL;DR: NO.
