I’ve been using Arc as my main browser for the last few months and it is phenomenal. Congrats to the team

Too many things called arc out there.

Dammit, I thought this was about Arc language (the language/platform that HN uses, http://arclanguage.org/). Guess I'm stuck with using Anarki still.

More on topic, seems it's still a waitlist? I go to their page and see "Join Waitlist" and "Coming in Winter 2023", so maybe page hasn't been properly updated yet?

Agreed. It's mainlined a lot of plugins that I used to use in Chrome and default keyboard shortcuts that I would have chosen myself. Window management, spaces, and automated tab lifecycles are by far the most valuable features I use.

A browser that requires an account to use? No thanks.

The "why do i need an account" popup doesn't properly explain it to me either, syncing should be optional - let me use, or at least try, it without an account first.

It should work on a Mac or iOS device right now - I just checked it on my iPhone

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.

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
