Possibly good for Mac, but not for Windows
I started using Arc Browser in Beta and although it provides a lot of features that are very practical, well thought out and intuitive, yet they were not par with the Mac version. Not only did Arc on Windows lag behind in terms of features but also it was not stable. A lot of small bugs here and there made the experience unpleasant at times and I was hoping they'll be fixed soon but now it seems like a distant possibility. I finally had to switch after TBC 'abandoned' Arc.

Innovative Browser
Arc Browser is a game-changer for browsing, packed with cool features and a sleek, modern design. Its mobile app, powered by AI, takes the experience to the next level with smart, intuitive tools. The browser shines with its website customization options, letting you tailor your browsing experience to your preferences. While the Windows app isn’t quite as polished as the Mac version, if you’re using a Mac, Arc is an absolute must-try!

Sucks for Windows
This review is for Windows. I was really excited for this to launch and even got early access. At first they made me hopeful about the browser. The design its known for was really helpful. However, the more I used it the more problems I faced. Here are some: 1. It always needed to check updates for 10-20 seconds before opening or even when opening a link from other apps. 2. It lacked the basic features like site search and drag to tab bar to search in the background. 3. It was slow. So, I gave Zen browser a try and they showed me how much was possible. Not only does Zen solves all the problems Arc for Windows had, it has so many features and is so customizable.

The best browser solution for multiple profiles and hundreds of tabs
Arc feels like a new generation of browser that seeks to solve problems you may not even be aware of with your current browser. The power of Arc comes from its sidebar, with a vertical orientation of browser tabs. Other standout features: 1. Easy profile switching: You can have multiple different sidebars, each easily side-swipeable to navigate between them. A profile sandboxes your accounts and cookies, so if you have Gmail accounts for work and personal, you can establish each in its own profile. You can also specify different base URLs to open in a particular profile – they call this Air Traffic Control. For example, I have Amazon links opening in my Personal space. 2. Favorites: You can create tiles for your favorites along the top of the sidebar for nice big click targets. There are some fun easter eggs. For example, if you make Spotify one of your Favorites, it will show little musical note animations emanating from the tile when you're playing a song. 3. Bookmarks and pinned & expiring tabs: Tabs can be made permanent in your sidebar. Ones you haven't saved can be set to automatically close after a particular duration, customizable per profile. You can also move tabs between profiles, so for example I have a profile whose rule is to never close a tab, allowing me a place to dump links I know I want to keep without having to file them right away. 4. Picture in picture and Split Views: automatically putting videos that are playing into a smaller window when you switch to a different tab is great to be able to look things up while watching YouTube. Other browsers may have Split View between multiple web pages, but not as intuitive as dragging a tab alongside another. This saves a ton of time when trying to reference a web page while writing an email. It would take a lot more space to extol all the virtues of Arc. But it's fair to say that this piece of software has had the most surprising positive effect on my productivity & organization.

Complete experience
Before this, I used Brave, but it never really sat right with me. I rarely used the bookmarks feature, but I know that some people use it extensively, but I just couldn't. When Arc Browser first released, I was very intrigued by it and the sidebar is the game changer. It takes a lot of screen real estate, which is precious, but it's worth the compromise because now I'm using all the bookmarks more efficiently, I manage my tabs more efficiently, and overall my workspace isn't cluttered with random links and websites, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a seamless browsing experience.
