I have fallen in love with arc on my personal computer! As a UX Designer it’s features just make sense and allow me to work more efficiently. It just sucks that I am stuck using Chrome on my work computer
Everything about the Arc browser is 100% what Safari and Edge combined would like to be. I could heavily see Microsoft taking some features from the arc browser and bringing them to Edge, like the vertical tabs sidebar. I also see a resemblance to safari a lot. The sidebar is what MacOS has been doing since big sure, and I think arc brings it to mac better than safari does. Arc feels more first-party than Safari does in some accepts.
Except Edge had side tabs for years, but the implementation is better IMO. Whenever you see people demo arc, they’re using some blog or something with a tiny amount of content in the middle of the screen and tons of white space. But when I use arc with gmail or teams or whatever - it’s obvious that for the webapps we use the most - tons of wasted space one the sides isn’t the norm.
@@geoken2 agree. I just tried arc yesterday. It is indeed beautiful. But the wasted space on the left part of the page quite bugs me. Horizontal tabs are still the most efficient. I can group them on Edge and expand/minimize.
Hey, great review! I've heard other people say they loved Arc, but yours is the clearest explanation of what's so good about it. I'm going to start testing it today!
Great video. I'm sending it to my tech friends. I've only been using ARC for a few days, but it really IS a game-changer for the way I use browsers, especially for productivity.
One feature i discovered today when moving around the video miniplayer is that if you use a trackpad, move the mouse over to the miniplayer, then place a second finger on the trackpad and you’ll be able to easily move around the video like that as well. You can also pinch to increase/decrease the size of the video. Edit: just wanted to add that I have now stopped using Arc completely. It was fun to use, but the constant crashes every time I tried to access my passwords on the browser pushed me away. Until they fix it, I’m sticking with safari and icloud keychain
They’ve made some major improvements to performance if you care to try again. And they listen to all user feedback so don’t be afraid to report it again if you already have.
@@Action2me I might in a month or so when my company updates my macbook to an Apple Silicon one. But I also want to checkout Orion and the new Safari that comes out with Sonoma
phwoar - everything about this looks amazing, but the screenshot feature is a total game changer for me. I end up with literally thousands of screen shots on my desktop that I have to remember to file away into the right project / to do list / research folder etc. thanks for sharing this run through!
Looks really good! I am on the waiting list, and I actually can't wait to try it out! But I have to say, some of the things you have shown Opera has for a while now, and I love Opera. Excited to see if I will switch completely to Arc.
The Privacy terms in detail paint a different picture. Up to the point of they do have the right to use the collected data (whatever those are) and share these data with their partners (whoever those are). So pretty much what every other browser does.
@@THEVIERAOS they put it out in shipments every month. The earlier you sign up for it, the more likely they’ll send you a download. Once you do, check your email for a download link
Just hit F11 once... You lost me at 2:29 this has been in browsers since the beginning of browsers... Then you talk about shortcuts which are literally in every browser out there. Half this video is spend on features which already exist on Chrome, Edge, Firefox etc... Only special thing about this browser seems to be the previews. Tabs on the left is directly taken from the new Edge.
@@alexabianny having the same issue. It is battery killer. get back to safari day to day normal tasks and keeping ARC for intensive works only. Thanks for the reply btw 🙂
All sounds cool although re-inventing wheels spring to mind. My "only" question about Arc is is it lighter on system resources than what is already out there?
how do you use mail app inside ARC? why is it better to open the mail inbox through ARC? doesn’t get lost between tabs? I feel it's not easily accessiable and perhaps it would be lost between so many things in ARC.
It seems a lot like Vivaldi, I've used it for a while but I just kept going back to opera. After switching PCs I just stuck to edge, it was good enough and opera started to get sluggish on my old pc.
Thanks for your video! I was finally given the chance to use Arc yesterday for Windows 11 and I found your video. One suggestion I have is to work on removing your filler word "uh" as it's distracting. Otherwise I'll check out your tips!
Yes, there's a function to "capture entire page" (which can be accessed from the command bar, so it's rather easy to accomplish). 🙂 The screenshots also look nice, there's no usual hickups like scrolling headers being visible several times, etc.
Damn it, just a few minutes of using this after exporting all my chrome stuff, im starting to love this thing, you can literally maximize all of your display realstate just for the website content, and the split screen was awwweesome!!
My current browser (Vivaldi) has almost all these features already, but they are not very well implemented. Arc just seems like everything is just better at makings things work better together. I'm hyped for the windows release.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for the video. I’ve just started to use Arc today and I am really enjoying it. What software do you use to record your screen? I really like the style of your video. 😊
Hello, I have a few questions. Why are my plugins on the right? Is this a new version? How to move to the top? Where can I find information about these version updates? I did not find the release logs of arc.
You didn't mention the negatives. I get that Arc is a really good looking (and functioning browser) but that's not all. What about performance, what if I want to multitask while gaming and browsing the web on Arc? Also, my browser doesn't have to be a screenshotting tool, and a project-planning tool, the point of a browser is to just view and interact with webpages.
My favorite feature is mini arc. There’s a keyboard shortcut to open a mini arc window anywhere. This allows me to use a full screen terminal for development and just summon a browser on top of the full screen window
I feel like no one has used easels to their fullest potential You could conduct a cockpit of the most valuable news sources and get updates from each one all in one page
What about trackers? How do they (Arc) make an income - from advertising or data mining? They all start out with good intentions until the advertisers offer them a deal - after all, they need to make a living. If it's free, you are the 'product'. Some nice features so good luck.
10 reasons not to switch: 1. It's not on Arch 2. It's not on Arch 3. It's not on Arch 4. It's not on Arch 5. It's not on Arch 6. It's not on Arch 7. It's not on Arch 8. It's not on Arch 9. It's not on Arch 10. It's not on Arch
The first reason why you should switch to Arc is a new expensive MAC. Cuz that shit works on MacOS Ventura or Monterey only. Such a shame. How the heck they wanna challenge the Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Brave or Bing?
Almost everything that is mentioned here in this video is already available in Vivaldi. Plus if you want to try Arc you have to register, which is totally unacceptable
yeah but at the end of the day it’s just Chrome. It’s not really a browser, and it’s going to get steamrolled by Manifest v3. The only other browsers that remain are Firefox and Safari, and it’s a sad situation to be in.
@@prodbyruphus Manifest v3 is an update to the way browser extensions work. Google's implementation of Manifest v3 severely limits the ability for ad blockers to work, and all browsers based on the Chromium code will be hit as well. Since Google will also be enforcing these rules on their Web Store, it is unclear how other Chromium-based offerings will be able to deal with this. The only other established extensions store is Firefox Add-ons, which currently only targets the Firefox browser, and Apple's App Store, where WebExtensions are already somewhat limited.
Poor Vivaldi. Tab stacks, split view, command bar .. it's had them all for years now, and nobody's talking about it anymore 😞. Oh well, I'm just waiting for that Arc beta invite for Windows. Hope it comes soon!
Dude trying to run a tech related youtube channel typing the word "website" into his google search is a definite sign that you should not care about what he says, let alone subscribe. You expect google to return things that aren't websites?
And my counter argument to that is this: Will chrome actually ever add those features? When was the last time you remember chrome adding an actually useful feature? And even if they do copy some stuff, isn’t that all the more reason to be grateful that someone dared to push the boundaries of web browsing to enhance your experience? I simply don’t understand why so many people are thirsty to see new startups fail. Genuinely, can you even say you enjoy using chrome? I can’t either, but I can definitely say that every day when I use arc. Choose to be the optimist 😁

Me too
with the speed Microsoft edge is growing, I wouldn't be surprized if they stole some of these features
@@sudiptodas0001 yeah. edge already has some of those features.

Its chromium based as well i think

How did you get the search bar to the left of the screen? It is on the top by default
Can you take a scrolling screenshot? Meaning you want to take a screenshot of the entire page and not just the visible part.
