| I've been using Arc on my personal machine for a couple months now, and my favorite feature is one that surprised me: Tab persistence is opt-in Meaning that, unless you explicitly pin a tab, or stick it in a folder you create, it will get automatically closed after some period of time (in practice for me this meant between browsing sessions). Initially this surprised and annoyed me, but over time it prodded me to be intentional about evaluating whether my tabs are disposable, or need to be held on to across multiple sessions, which I've found led to much tidier browsing habits. Other features of Arc (spaces, pop-up previews, folders, tab renaming) aren't particularly novel, but the way they integrate seamlessly and function intuitively with inputs I'm used to, has made the whole thing a really pleasant experience in a way I've never been able to achieve by cobbling together extensions in other browser. Really hope their ideas catch on and they start to see some competition because Arc is doing a great job bringing novelty while maintaining polish and I'd love to see some of this UX replicated in a non-chromium browser. |
