These were written a few years ago, but still worth jotting down these criticisms

I'm using Vivaldi on both desktop and mobile

Also got a couple userscripts too, my setup too good lol

Trying this out now.

This is trying a little too hard to be different. Not really liking it

no cap, this looks like dogshit

everyone in this thread was wrong, this browser is fire

when is this coming to windows?

Out now but it might be invite only

Used it for 2 years and don't think I can go back to chrome

Same, was using it back when it was by invitation through schools

Finally got this setup properly.. Definitely speeds up the workflow if you need to be online alot for work, etc.

nope.

How so?

The most useful part of the UI for me is that you can just tuck away the sidebar, so effectively hide the UI completely and then navigate completely through hotkeys or even just a single hotkey which launches a global search bar similar to how I navigate Notion or even my entire Mac at this point. So it’s a workflow that feels more intuitive and true to how I’d use most apps. All of that being said, with the UI hidden and strictly using hotkeys you can split the screen into multiple tabs, ask ChatGPT a question, search YouTube, etc. All without ever clicking on anything.

Then, leaving YouTube simply PIPs the video, if you hover over the PIP tile you can flick it with the track pad or mouse to anywhere else on the screen, and you can even pinch to resize it… I just discovered this yesterday and it just works so intuitively.

These are two off the top of my head, but yeah.. it’s definitely rethinking the browser in the context of how (I think) more natively online people navigate machines. They still have bookmarks, folders, etc. but I think the “right” way to use computers is to actually not organize anything, no folder hierarchies if you can avoid it, just let the computer file things away itself and let AI organize and you global search for everything to recall it.. as the AI gets better it’ll return results for things that are correct even when you can’t completely remember what it was called or named, etc.

This keeps coming up and i think it says the bowser company and i get excited for mario related stuff. Brave browser fire though its all i use on my pc

i love the little arc window u can just have infinite windows everywhere

I started using it. Definitely makes me rethink how I use a browser with spaces and navigation. I started to learn hot keys for navigation and it makes it much quicker to move about. Queuing the search bar is also great like using spotlight search on Mac.

Really the only downside for me as I’ve used it more is because it’s built on chrome, it’s a bit of a resource hog.. but it is what it is.. also if you launch the search, type in “capture” and you’re given built-in options for full screen capture etc.. which I’ve found useful for documenting web design, etc

This company is so cooked. Sucks because Arc is a great browser.

What is the tab organization system

Having no ads is a far better productivity hack than slightly different tab and bookmark organization or AI integration

So um...

Anyone have alternatives?

zen-browser.app

their new browser available for Arc users btw diabrowser.com
