Comment summary: Arc Browser stands out for its innovative features like split view and customizability, but users report mixed experiences. Positive feedback highlights its unique interface and productivity enhancements, while criticisms focus on limited OS support, high resource usage, and privacy concerns. The requirement for user accounts is also viewed negatively, and some suspect data mining intentions. Overall, the lack of Linux support and the closed ecosystem raise concerns about long-term usability and transparency.

Its distraction free interface is something that attracted me towards this browser. Using it along with Chrome as getting used to its shortcuts needs some time specially when I am habitual to Chrome and firefox like browsers for over a decade.

The interface is way too conceptual even for power users or higher. Most of their advertised features have been in operating systems for over a decade now. Current builds depend way too heavily on memorizing keyboard shortcuts.

2 stars because they're supposedly porting Swift over to Windows. That deserves some praise.

Game changing user-friendliness but missing Linux version.

Let's be honest, an interesting idea for separate workspaces. Nothing more. A Chromium overlay that will no longer be developed. The project will be abandoned, and a few enthusiasts will remain in their bubble, believing in the idea and ignoring the poor execution.

This browser introduced a whole new concept of web browsing, and we will see this effect when it gains a larger market share.

The concept is new and interesting. Bookmarks cannot be exported. I wonder if the AI feature will soon be paid for.

An awesome browser with unique features like Peek (opens links in a temporary window), bookmarks = tabs, a multi-account container system, and a nice overall experience.

Unfortunately, they didn't become billionaires this year so they're moving onto developing a new, simple AI-based browser to attract a wider audience. While they say Arc will still receive stability updates, I think it's safe to assume the Windows version will remain in its current state.

Good luck, The Browser Company. We will await your 2025 bankruptcy.

What is Arc Browser?

Arc is a browser designed for personalized and distraction-free web browsing, compatible with Windows, macOS, and iOS. Its features like Spaces, Profiles, Split View, Themes, and privacy protection enable users to customize their online activities. Spaces and Profiles allow users to organize different activities within one window.

Users can adjust their browsing setup using Split View and Themes. Arc prioritizes privacy and security, ensuring user's browsing history and searches remain private. It also incorporates artificial intelligence to improve the browsing experience.

The AI assistant, Arc Max, uses OpenAI’s API Platform and Anthropic’s Claude for commercial applications. Users can opt-in to Max's AI features like 'Ask on Page,' '5 Second Previews,' and 'Ask ChatGPT,' which provide quick answers and webpage previews. 'Tidy Tab Titles' and 'Tidy Downloads' features automatically rename tabs and downloads for an organized browsing experience.
