But now that youcandownload Arc, should you really abandon Chrome for it?
I think you should, and heres why.
Browsers have become boring through no fault of their own; thats just how technology matures.
But boring also means complacent.
Tabs at the top, a toolbar, extensions, a menu button, and thats it.
But its not only about the visuals: Its a fundamental shift in how you browse the web.
Each space is a page in the sidebar that you’re able to swipe between.
Any link you click, opens in the same space.
you might rename a space, and you might change the icon with an emoji as well.
Pinning a tab means dragging it over the line, to the top of the space.
you could essentially convert spaces into different surfing app silos.
One for work, one for personal, one for a different project, or a client.
This turns a website into an app thats always available, refreshed, and ready to go.
The Arc web app is filled with these sort of thoughtful little touches.
Arc has integrated a command palette with the common new tab shortcut (Command + T).
Its built using the Chromium engine, but it uses a lot of custom, native code on top.
This means you get the best of both worlds.
But because its still the Chrome engine, all your Chrome extensions will work.
Drag a tab over an existing one, and youre off to the races.
Two tabs show up side by side without any extra toolbars.
They are paired in the sidebar as well.
One of the most underrated features in Arc might be whats called Little Arc.
Its like Finders Quick View but for the web.
When you open a link from a different app, it first opens in a freestanding window.
Plus, you’re able to remove some components from the website.
you could alsobrowse and download community Boosts.
