Edge basically does almost everything arc does. Been using edge for the past 3 years and it has really come a long way. I've switched to chrome and a few other browsers, but I keep coming back to edge. One feature that stood out to me was its ability to open tabs in split view which not so many people seem to have figured.
There's been so much hype about this browser, so as a Windows user, thanks for making this video so I can see what it is actually like! A few things I wanted to point out: the element screenshot feature can already be found on Firefox I have already been using vertical tabs on Edge, but the difference is that they are collapsible and not fixed in place/completely hidden away like on Arc The Notes feature looks great, as someone who literally makes new tabs and stops them from loading as notes I love using many tabs myself, so being able to close/suspend them but keep them on my tab list might just be exactly what I've been looking for! I'd have to see how I feel about tabs automatically archiving though, I think that's something I'd just want to do manually... Spaces within the same window are actually quite nice, would basically be like switching virtual desktops, but on the same window! Could be more distracting than it's worth though.. however I do think it would be so much better than having to juggle multiple windows!
Spaces is super useful to me so far, I have different work logins for everything and I can simply navigate to my work pages already open, and flip back to a personal space with no need to log out of anything, even if it’s the same website
I'm pretty happy with the vertical tabs on firefox, too. The built-in ones (currently only in preview afaik) don't have an hierarchy yet, but the tree-style tabs plugin works super well. So after what I saw, it's selling points are: - Spaces, which work better than containers - at least according to the video - Easier to customize the look & also prettier by default The permanent vs temporary tabs seems a bit weird to me. Like I need a page for a while and then I'll just close it, when I'm done. The tabs that I keep open forever are those that I want to eventually look at and not forget. So I guess I'll have to make those permanent? But that's kinda weird to see that e.g. youtube that I use all the time is always going to be "temporary" tabs and that random blog article is a permanent one? Idk. The notes I actually actively dislike. There is already way better note apps out there. The browser itself just seems like a the wrong place. And additionally, it's ALWAYS online? Like, cool that it's private, but it looks like it still always gets uploaded. Oh and it's chromium based so let's see how long the adblocker still works. I don't want hate too much, though. I think I would actually enjoy a "zen" version of firefox a lot and joy-while-using is definitely also a good reason to use some software. Lastly, one of the most important issues with proprietary software that I don't see anywhere: How do they (plan to) make money? I don't think people nowadays will pay for a browser given that there is so many good free options. Are they going to integrate an extra feature and charge for that? Otherwise the only option I can see is user data & since that is probably not gonna make enough data, targeted advertising integrations.
this is the most comprehensive arc browser video ever like not only do u review but u also like properly show it this should be an official guide for it lmao
There is something stunning about ARC, and it brings a level of customization to Apple users that is normally available to an Android users only. Having said that, this browser is D Tier in terms of security at this level and has many bugs they still have to fix. In addition, they just started their Windows beta, so the ARC team will have a LOT of work to do in summer.
I've been using Arc for a few days and I am enjoying it. Especially the clean interface and excellent keyboard shortcuts. I think pinned URL behaviour needs to be resolved (they should behave more like tabs do otherwise it's confusing if they're bookmarks or active tabs). I look forward to whether or not I become an active user of spaces too.
I've just installed this app at 10:30 of the video and will be editing this comment discussing my journey! my experience: - I can tell just from the scrolling and cmd + y that it's safe to say this is chromium based - I dislike the new window every tab (could probably be fixed in settings) - One thing that safari does over every other browser is airplay support. I do like the casting option on youtube that this browser has but it works directly on my tv and not on my xbox (could add airplay + improve casting in future update) - to add to the last note, audio settings are a must have 🙏🏽 - I accidentally messed up my youtube topbar with ublock and had to reset the extension, oops more to come!
For me, having the icons in my favourite bar is something it's hard to live without. They're right there and I access them very quickly. Going through a left side list to access them makes my workflow far less efficient.
Fun Fact: Arc is just Chromium, the same browser Google Chrome is based on. The team behind Arc made a huge mistake, developing it for Mac first, Windows has way more users and that can and probably will harm Arc's success in the long run
No they made a perfect tradeoff. The codebase is majorly Swift which has very good performance and more importantly the syntax is developer friendly unlike the horrors of Microsoft's C++. If they manage to port Swift code to Windows not only will they be the first browser to do so, but they will also have a homogenous codebase for both operating systems!
@@argylleagenwhat is “horros of MS c++”? Apps for windows can be done using cross platform .netcore and c# which is good. Swift is not faster. Also arc using open source chromium engine inside.
@@exoticredtadpole2713 they wrote it in swift and are making the windows version in swift as well. not to mention they are making their work in achieving this open-source
Safari is far superior in the efficiency department atleast on apple silicon. My m1 mbp barely manages to eek out 6 hours of browser tasking when on Arc or Chrome, on safari... that number is 19 hours!
The reason your zap didn't work is likely because there was an invisible element over the banner you were zapping. This is not Arc's problem, rather just the design of the website. If the first zap try doesn't work, try again, and again, and again until you finally reach the actual element you are trying to zap.
Mosst regular people don't like to deal with keyboard commands. They are point and clickers. Most people have memories akin to a rock and so filling up the mind with memorized keystrokes would surely give the user a stroke.
Arc looks like a great browser, however I'm so comfy in Safari that I don't feel compelled to move. Also, seeing as Apple has been implementing new features in Safari lately, I'm sure some of Arc's best features will come to Safari anyway. However, Arc is unique enough of a browser that copying a few features won't make any browser a replacement for it, it's simply built different from other browsers
it might take you some time to get used to it but once you do, you won't want to use safari anymore trust me, it feels so much better and organized than safari
The only reason why neither safari nor arc are my go-to defaults is because of cross compatability. I use Ubuntu for my desktop alongside Windows 10 and macos on the laptop front so Brave turned out to be the sole competitor to chrome that I felt safe enough to choose (did not mention FF because government sites dont run on it, neither do my uni's websites)
The thing that got me is the customization, Safari will never allow that much wiggle room. You can make Arc as ordinary as possible (but not with horizontal tabs) or super customizable, with your own shortcuts, colors and else. This is what sold me using it for a few days
One thing I truly HATE about Arc is the bookmarks being just a folder in a space, instead of a universal "bookmarks" section across all spaces. It almost just kills the app for me. But it's just so pretty and cute I'm gonna keep using it, even if there's no Android app yet.
One workaround is if you "favorite" a website, all spaces using that profile will have the same favorites across its spaces. It's not ideal but it may solve your problem
how did you change the arc icon? i have been using the browser since march and i didn't know you could do that on mac. is it a basic icon swap in finder or does arc let you do that natively? i do not want to do it through finder, so i will leave a question in arc Q&A too but please get back to me if you see this comment. peace.
I love vertical tabs, and have gotten most of the functionality of arc out of Edge, but I still kinda hate having a top bar and wish it could be like Arc where everything is in the sidebar. Before the Firefox fans show up, yes, I have fully configured firefox to be able to do all the same stuff. It just had enough hiccups to distract and annoy me to the point that I was spending more time tweaking than working.
There are a couple things to point out from my experience on Arc for macOS: 1. Tab management in Arc it awful. If you have a tab pinned and you want to open a new tab for the same page, it takes more steps than it should for an action so simple. 2. Arc is completely optimized for using it on just one screen, if you use an external monitor things get really ugly. It's like it doesn't know how to manage different windows, tabs, and desktops at the same time. It pisses me off every time It's a really nice browser but this 2 things have made my experience bad enough to keep me using Brave
I've been using arc on windows for a while now. I'm just a little sad that the windows verson doesnt have all the cool features of the mac, but its still a great browser
04:55 - 05:02 is such a bullshit example to give instead of giving actual unique keybinds as examples, you used two of the most universal keybinds in a browser...
Don't get me wrong, I am one of those windows users that can't wait to use Arc, but you are not giving it good light by praising a common keybind if a common keybind is praised, then that indicates that there aren't better keybinds other than what all the other browsers already have, that might have not been your intent, but thats the message you gave
Well, Tabs on the side and splitview have been around with Edge for a long time, as well as several workspaces etc. I thought about switching to Arc, but since I am not a shortcut type at all, the browser was very confusing for me. In addition, there is the sheer size of the Arc Browser, I have games that are not as big as the browser. Also a contra argument for me.
The only reason why neither safari nor arc are my go-to defaults is because of cross compatability. I use Ubuntu for my desktop alongside Windows 10 and macos on the laptop front so Brave turned out to be the sole competitor to chrome that I felt safe enough to choose (did not mention FF because government sites dont run on it, neither do my uni's websites)
Why do applications these days focus more on design than actual functionality? As a Firefox user and web developer, this feels really like a baby browser. For me, a browser is a productivity tool and not some kind of luxury fashion product or whatever.
That's where we have to understand that everyone have different needs. This browser is not competing with Firefox. For most people who use internet generally, they will enjoy this browser more than Chrome or Firefox. I use Arc for research and blogging. For most other work, I just use Chrome. So I can understand why someone can prefer Arc.
As a Firefox and Pale Moon user, I agree!!!!! Edit: with some of the Arc features that were shown in the video, aside from the host begging for RUclips interactions, I can do similar things, I don't need those features, I have other apps that let me do those things, or the features look like stuff I want but don't actually need.
I can't see any new feature that's super useful and productive which is not in Edge and is Arc exclusive, just some cosmetic stuff, Edge has 90% of these features and I don't see any strong reason to switch to Arc On top of all these features, Edge also has co-pilot which really saves me time instead of opening chat-gpt and asking it, I switched from Chrome recently and I find edge being the best choice at the moment for windows user
Arc for Mac is great as of today (13/08/2024 14:04 UST). But the Windows Arc is just awefull. I used arc for a week then left it because the amount of bugs is very annoying. I know they are fixing it but I'll wait until they do that. New Tab not working 60% of time is too annoying.

When you have RUclips set as a favourite, it will go to a Picture in Picture view so you can save your Split View for actual work.

It should be coming to Windows eventually
While I didn't create the video, what I can say is that I think it's because most or all of Arc's developers primarily use Apple devices themselves.
why can’t it be on Mac?
There are a couple things to point out from my experience on Arc for macOS:
1. Tab management in Arc it awful. If you have a tab pinned and you want to open a new tab for the same page, it takes more steps than it should for an action so simple.
2. Arc is completely optimized for using it on just one screen, if you use an external monitor things get really ugly. It's like it doesn't know how to manage different windows, tabs, and desktops at the same time. It pisses me off every time
It's a really nice browser but this 2 things have made my experience bad enough to keep me using Brave
go try orion you're gonna love it because of the thing you mentioned in 0:23
is that a browser?
@@rogue_carlisle6167 yeah it is.
Why the hell do i need a account to browse the web
I've been using arc on windows for a while now. I'm just a little sad that the windows verson doesnt have all the cool features of the mac, but its still a great browser
you can you show me where you got that arc browser icon? im using it but i dont like the current icon
Theres a website called macosicons, that's where I get most of my icons
yoo thanks bro ive never seen someone who actually replies to comments thanks bruh@@bogxd
Cheers! thx for watching
@@bogxd thanks for website
0:24 all of the browsers (except for safari) that you use have chromium 😭 they can use the same extensions (and arc)
I think the features arc has vivaldi also has them, but it polished it further
04:55 - 05:02 is such a bullshit example to give
instead of giving actual unique keybinds as examples, you used two of the most universal keybinds in a browser...
Don't get me wrong, I am one of those windows users that can't wait to use Arc, but you are not giving it good light by praising a common keybind
if a common keybind is praised, then that indicates that there aren't better keybinds other than what all the other browsers already have, that might have not been your intent, but thats the message you gave
I felt Arc is too heavy for Mac Intel i5 8GB, am I right?
One of my main reasons of using Arc is the pretty seamless integration of AI; this seems to have been mostly overlooked.
It's like obsidian/notion with browser combine
I'd use it, but safari sucks up less battery life so,
how did you get your safari toolbar to look like that?
ikr
Well, Tabs on the side and splitview have been around with Edge for a long time, as well as several workspaces etc.
I thought about switching to Arc, but since I am not a shortcut type at all, the browser was very confusing for me.
In addition, there is the sheer size of the Arc Browser, I have games that are not as big as the browser. Also a contra argument for me.
Amezing, are their any other apps like that?
Zen browser is the same idea but it's Firefox based
@@meroinheroin // ooh
First ad on this chanell👍
The only reason why neither safari nor arc are my go-to defaults is because of cross compatability. I use Ubuntu for my desktop alongside Windows 10 and macos on the laptop front so Brave turned out to be the sole competitor to chrome that I felt safe enough to choose (did not mention FF because government sites dont run on it, neither do my uni's websites)
Can you make a full video on the microsoft Edge?
thats the best now i dont have to take notes in notepad all my data on one app
I still prefer firefox over this honestly, but everyone has their own tastes
dont worry about the bugs, they push fun updates every week!
but still sometimes dont fix the bugs because theyre prioritising the "fun" updates.
@@harvey.cbut now they r doing fix it Fridays every week every update where they just smash bugs for one whole day.
thats one thing these guys do that no other browser does, transparency with the users!
I have an ultrawide monitor. I use Edge, and I have vertical tabs at the left, and Bing AI open all the time at the right.
Already use it on my phone
If you revisit an open tab, does the auto-archive timer restart?
good question haha
Its a kind of obsidian Browser?
To much Toys & Candys! I just want to browsing!
Why do applications these days focus more on design than actual functionality? As a Firefox user and web developer, this feels really like a baby browser. For me, a browser is a productivity tool and not some kind of luxury fashion product or whatever.
Absolutely
That's where we have to understand that everyone have different needs. This browser is not competing with Firefox. For most people who use internet generally, they will enjoy this browser more than Chrome or Firefox. I use Arc for research and blogging. For most other work, I just use Chrome. So I can understand why someone can prefer Arc.
As a Firefox and Pale Moon user, I agree!!!!!
Edit: with some of the Arc features that were shown in the video, aside from the host begging for RUclips interactions, I can do similar things, I don't need those features, I have other apps that let me do those things, or the features look like stuff I want but don't actually need.
That's just your opinion and you are free to use FF for the rest of your life (provided it survives that long hahahaha)
@@argylleagen nise jock. You are saiding this bicause you not used fairfox
Can you explain the mac and arc setting required to change arc space with a gesture on the trackpad?
Bring your cursor on the space area, two finger swipe towards left or right
This browser is using obsidian behind the scene for note taking and excalidraw extension for obsidian for handwritten notes
i need this dudes wallaper, is it on wallpaper engine ?
When will it come to linux??
Can you change what the new tab interface looks like? cuz i dont like it as just blank white/black, id rather have a wallpaper :)
I can't see any new feature that's super useful and productive which is not in Edge and is Arc exclusive, just some cosmetic stuff, Edge has 90% of these features and I don't see any strong reason to switch to Arc
On top of all these features, Edge also has co-pilot which really saves me time instead of opening chat-gpt and asking it,
I switched from Chrome recently and I find edge being the best choice at the moment for windows user
What about sending tabs to mobile and vice versa?
Arc for Mac is great as of today (13/08/2024 14:04 UST).
But the Windows Arc is just awefull.
I used arc for a week then left it because the amount of bugs is very annoying. I know they are fixing it but I'll wait until they do that. New Tab not working 60% of time is too annoying.
how did you get the transparent theme?
