Arc Browser

The browser that replaces your desktop — spaces, boosts, and AI

Arc reimagines the browser with spaces for context switching, boosts for customizing any website, and AI-powered features like instant summaries and tab previews. Vertical tabs, split view, and a command bar.

Spaces changed how I work. Work tabs in one space, personal in another, client projects each get their own. Context switching without tab chaos.

Reality Check

Arc is beautiful but the company pivoted to a new product. Updates have slowed. The future is uncertain. Switching browsers is a big commitment for an uncertain product.

Developer Perspective

The dev tools work fine since it is Chromium-based. Boosts for customizing internal tools are useful. The command bar is faster than Chrome omnibox.

Love the spaces concept but concerned about The Browser Company's pivot away from Arc

Best browser design in years, the command bar alone is worth switching
