Has anyone used Arc / The Browser Co's browser? If yes, worth?

My primary use case for it is guiding the browser UI when reading or taking screenshots. Not super interesting but also switching is super low since it’s pretty close to chromium

i fully switched and would have a hard time going back. i use folders, spaces, and keyboard shortcuts a lot. i really like it overall my least favorite part is how extensions work but u can access them from keyboard shortcut so that’s nice

Just recently switched back after trying Arc for a month. I like what they are trying to do but extensions feel like second class citizens and doing dev work in Arc is not nearly as smooth as Chrome.

Made the switch from chrome. Good UX and its auto archive feature unclutters my tabs. But may run into performance issues if you have multiple windows open with something like browser-based vscode

It’s been my default browser for going on a year now and it would be really, really tough to move back to Chrome or Safari at this point. It may not be for everyone but it’s really awesome for me.

Haven’t figured out a workflow that makes it worth it yet. I typically declare tab bankruptcy every day though and create my own knowledge graph/index of the web on other platforms.

Yes. I like it quite a lot, but for two things. 1. It destroys battery life and is a big resource hog. It'll lag xcode simulator, vs code and discord if you have all running with arc 2. The adblock extensions don't work as well as on brave. Otherwise it is great and I'm happy to use it over brave and chrome.

as far as i can tell, almost all the features in Arc are things that already exist in MacOS via tools like Alfred and BetterTouchTool
