  • @Mehlo...
    Great review. Definitely would love a deeper dive on how you organized. As a UX engineer and designer myself you seem to get the way I want to use a browser and I think Arc may have as well ❤️
  • @ToufikLawand
    just a small correction, MacBooks have had a 16:10 aspect ratio for a while now (since at least the unibody days - more than 12 years ago). The latest Macs have a taller aspect ratio, with the part below the tool bar resembling 16:10 (basically you get added space above the screen for your toolbar)
  • @DreamLostSaga
    Only real ones know that this is a browser that has all the functionalities of i3wm/dwm/awm and rofi.
  • @jrgarciab
    Dude, wonderful video. Thank you. I've been using Arc for a few days, and I love it.
  • @stnkpalm
    Arc seems really interesting. Thank you for your video sharing more information about the browser. It sparked some ideas for me on how I might use Arc to change my daily workflow.
  • @Loumo
    I don’t know why I didn’t think of setting up PARA folders in Arc but I love it. Thanks for sharing!
  • @grafixnetz
    Got the ARC browser after seeing your video a while ago. AMAZING!! Exactly what I needed. THANKS!!!
  • @JoshMedeski
    Great intro! Thanks again for the invite, I'm organizing a space as an "area" in PARA, so far I really like it that way.
  • @lc1565
    Got excited for this to find out it's just another chromium. Every time a 'new browser' gets hyped, it's that meme with the astronauts on the moon and the one in the front is screaming "it was ALL chromium all along?!?"
  • I'm looking forward to tying it! Looks like it could definitely help productivity.
  • this trades a lot with edge on vertical tabs as a control freak but also a designer will be nice to see what side's heavier cant wait to try.
  • @scoreunder
    This looks very well-polished, but I note that most of the features mentioned are already implemented in Firefox, either with extensions or in the browser itself. While the UI for spaces might be somewhat less ambiguous and cluttered than Firefox's containers, it's not something that Firefox is lacking per se. There are other "new" features which already have direct equivalents -- Mini Player sounds like Firefox's Picture-in-Picture, and tracker blocking is part of Firefox already while ad-blocking can be achieved with any of several top-quality extensions. I like the idea of the browser but it would be really nice if they made the tab management bar an extension for other browsers instead, because I think it's incredibly negligent to be using a closed-source browser when it is the widest attack surface on most people's systems, the most easily attacked piece of software, and containing the most valuable information up to and including credit cards, passwords and real-life identity.
  • @Xomps
    I've been working like this for years on Firefox. It's nice to see others browsers finally getting these nice features.
  • @ElEscolta
    This honestly looks the the thing i been needing in my life, all the browser i used always feel really messy and cluttered the longer i use them, this actually feel like it fit my style more...
  • I use vivaldi and most of these features exist in the browser. You can have "tab stacks", which work like workspaces, "tile pages", which work like the split-screen, and with a vertical tab display, organisation becomes more intuitive.
  • @tsunamidev
    I NEED IT. it was made for me. thank you, the browser company, this is evolution. this is progress. this is the thing ive been waiting for.
  • @strato1986
    Would love to try Arc! it seems it will boost my productivity as i switch context a lot throughout my day.. great content!
  • @phil2415
    I've been curious about trying out Arc since I heard about it. What's interesting to me is how many of the your favourite features in Arc are ones which I've already found very useful in Edge. I can have multiple profiles between which I can switch (though not as seamlessly as with Arc, it would appear), and Edge's Collections feature seems very similar to Arc's sidebar folders. Edge also allows you to use vertical tabs, mirroring Arc's good use of vertical screen real estate. I still want to give Arc a go, though!

    This looks awesome and glad that finally someone trying to improve the UX of browser which we almost use it everyday now
