Their website still doesn't tell me anything useful enough about the browser to let me know if it's something that would interest me. It's all just marketing-speak.
It removes a lot of tab anxiety, and helps me organise actual useful links from things that are interesting for just now.
it isn't mentioned anywhere but it's chromium based — which is of course is practical, but I wonder how dependent on Google that makes them and other browsers using it
I’ve been using Arc as my main browser for the last few months and it is phenomenal. Congrats to the team
Have they added proper bookmarks yet? That was a deal breaker when I used it last. You could pin/favorite tabs and such, but I could never find a way to store the bookmarks that are not regularly used, but I may need to bring up from time to time. I assume this is just a philosophical disagreement between myself and the Arc devs about how one should use a web browser
https://thebrowser.company/values/ I don't think I want to have anything to do with this company. Super cringe. I get the impression that Arc will be a form over function product reflecting someone's understanding of good design and insisting on it. Not that I'd use a closed source browser anyway.
Some of the decisions I don't like (my Bitwarden button is hidden by default which makes password filling hard - I don't have it fill automatically on page load), but overall I've enjoyed using it. My favourite features:
- split tabs (I prefer this over tiling in the WM)
- little arc
- PiP works very well for video calls
- I have a bunch of apps pinned (ChatGPT / Gmail / Calendar / Github) and a bunch of tabs below that
- I like the single action bar on Cmd-T
Overall, big fan, and I'd pay some amount for it probably.
