Continue acquired by Cursor
continue.dev now reads "Continue has joined Cursor · Continue was acquired by Cursor", and the pricing page it used to publish returns 404. The Apache-2.0 repository is still public and still being pushed to, so the open-source client survives the deal, but Continue is no longer an independent product, and every "Cursor vs Continue" comparison now compares a tool to something its owner bought. No announcement date is published on the page; this is the date it was first observed.
