And I won't even mention the landing page for the browser itself which is just 2 page scrolls of "Arc is a browser and more..." with signup links for the wainting list, no description of what it is, what it does, nothing.
Anyway, as someone who doesn’t use Arc (yet) but had the chance to assist a quickie (15 minutes presentation in a conference) and had a coworker show it to me, I have to say I’m excited to give it a try when I get the chance. It really seems to solve cleanly some pain points I’ve had for years:
- vertical / horizontal split of tabs is supported
- auto closing of tabs seems like a great feature
- easels look extremely useful, even for dashboarding (they even allow to embed page sections with auto reload)
- links from other apps open in « little arc » so they don’t pollute the tab list (unless you actively want to keep the tab)
I’m glad to see innovation in this space.
I personally didn't like that everything is in the side bar, especially because it makes it difficult to see an entire URL. I also missed the ability to group tabs like in Microsoft Edge, but the "Spaces" would probably be able to replace that.

it's similar to asm vs python vs lisp
