Arc Search Reviews

I’ve used Arc for Mac since August of 2023 and I love what it is and what it stands for. Chrome is so many people’s go-to browser, but it is so stable being just that, that there is no innovation. Arc breaks out of the typical web browser stereotype and actually brings what real people want. They have a team that feels real. They aren’t some far away team at google or Firefox. They are a real team of people that genuinely want to improve what we call a browser and make it personal and so smooth. Updates every Thursday is something I can count on to bring new stuff that I’ll love. So far Arc for iPhone is exactly all of the innovation and redefining of a browser that it is for Mac, and it’s exactly the innovation and redefining that I want.

What makes this browsing app different from safari or the google app? Unless I’m missing something, it’s just the AI powered “browse for me”. I haven’t been able to use it enough to know how useful it’s going to be, but I have high hopes!

The biggest improvement from ArcSearch’s predecessor is not needing to have iCloud storage to operate. Big win, and it means I can actually use it.

The biggest downside is that, well, it doesn’t really bring what I love about the computer browser to the phone. I have my whole work flow centered around being able to organize tabs into a folder structure. I recognize that that this wouldn’t be as useful on a mobile browser but I was hopeful that the team would be able to find a way to capture that magic. And I’m just not convinced that another “maybe gimmicky AI tool” is it. But like I said, high hopes!

Like most people, I generally use Google Chrome as the first step in a search for answers. Secondary is to enter an exact URL. Arc feels like it’s geared towards putting search and answer retrieval right at the front, with built in AI generated pages to cut through the noise. It feels like I’m browsing the web as a celebrity, with all of the ads and sponsored content being held at bay by my security team. Instantly added to my tab bar. Only thing that might improve it for me is an Arc version of incognito mode or integrated VPN, and the ability to access my profiles and bookmarks from the desktop version of Arc.

Pro: Arc is intuitive and streamlined, if you have any experience browsing on your phone you can avoid fluff and find results as quick or quicker than other browsers.
Neutral: The main sell of ArcSearch is the summary feature ‘browse for me’. The summary was mostly accurate, generating a page based on multiple results, however may miss the most pertinent info. e.g.) listing the accomplishments of an individual but neglecting to offer any context to their body of work.
Con: The summary feature can be dreadfully slow, while waiting for a brief summary i found myself considering simply googling the specific information I wanted.

Takeaway: overall, offers a fun and novel feature, but not enough to warrant a switch from the utility of other powerhouse apps.

This application is exceptionally swift and provides an enjoyable experience, enabling me to effortlessly search for items and swiftly navigate to my favorite sections. Its design is notably user-friendly, allowing comfortable operation with just one hand, setting it apart from the complexity often found in other browsers. Its intuitive nature is a breath of fresh air, simplifying my browsing experience in a way that feels natural and straightforward. In essence, ArcSearch embodies the perfect blend of speed, ease, and intuitive design, encapsulating everything I desire in a mobile browser, and presenting it in a refined, accessible format.

Immediately the browse for me is a game changer and now is my default browser. I don't switch browsers, I haven't in 10 years. So that's a feat.

That being said, a feature request, once I engage "browse for me" sometimes it summarizes the info I'm not really interested in, a quick fix for this is to "ask the websites it browsed some questions" so once it gives me all its info I can ask it another question and it adds that information at the end of its "created webpage". A far superior chatGPT browsing experience.

Holly cow, this search is epic. The ai thing works like a dream. Only missing a few things.

1 - I wish this linked up with our arc browser on my Mac. They have another app but it just be discontinued because I can’t find it anymore. Hopefully they link them together so I can get quick access to all my saved tabs on my phone.

2 - No Widget! A search bar widget would take this to the next level. Similar to what Google chrome does.

3 - Notifications. I’d like to be able to search something, and have it notify me when the ai is done. Potentially even a setting so that when I leave ArcSearch it knows I don’t need it right away and spends extra time making the web page even better.

4 - Local AI search. When searching for bars near me or restaurants near me it could use some refining. It doesn’t really tell me enough about the actual location. It should offer directions, a link to see their reviews, and more like that.

Such an amazing mobile browser that’s quick, intuitive, and very polished for a new app. It’s leveraging AI to browse your search phrase for you from multiple sites and compiling results in a webpage built around your search.

One bug spotted in the recent update is opening a tab in the background doesn’t always load the images or loads a placeholder used for lazy loading. To fix you have to refresh the page.

I love to break and test things, so the first thing I did was submit a few searches that were begging for misinformation such as “5 Scientifically Proven Ways for an Adult Male to Get Taller”. To my surprise, the “Browse for Me” feature was pretty good at filtering out misinformation.

Why doesn’t this have 5 stars? Two reasons.

For one, I have an Arc browser I use every single day on desktop and I can’t import my workspaces to seamlessly flow from desktop to mobile.

Secondly, the web page that the “Browse for Me” feature generates probably ought to have the citations inside the initial bullets in addition to the ones at the bottom of the page. These could even just be simple super script anchor tags and it would help users like myself jump to a web page from the generated list even faster.

Great product that I will now attempt to use as my default browser. I will definitely be changing my review to 5/5 if there are improvements.

Definitely needs better tab management. The switch tab button being on the left is more annoying than convenient. Hands down the best feature is the “browse for me” button so I can quickly get what I need.

As nice as it is to have the keyboard show up whenever I click ArcSearch after a period of time trying to go into it after I had to check another app and having to swipe the keyboard away like a fly gets annoying quickly.

For a first version it’s five stars but in order to keep this my default browser (which I desperately want to do) the small little annoying things need to be fixed before it becomes my daily driver.

Much love to the Arc team, hoping “Browse for me” becomes a feature on desktop as well! 😁

Hello, Browser Company. I have been using and loving Arc for Mac for a while now, and was excited to have the same experience on my mobile devices. When I tried Arc on my iPad, I was amazed by all the cool features, especially the Browse For Me. I do have a problem, though. Since Arc is not optimized for tablets, ArcSearch just appears as a vertical window in the middle of my screen, which is first, not taking advantage of the larger screen, and second, inefficient and annoying because it is small and ugly. Please optimize Arc for iPad, and I will resume using it as my main mobile browser.

I like to ease into new apps, and give them greater prominence once they've proved themselves. But Arc Search uses manipulative practices in the onboarding screens to get you to commit to making Arc your default browser before you can even use ArcSearch . If you say not yet, they tell you that they're going to disable some of the most useful features until you make them the default. These features are in no way dependent on the browser being made the default, they're withholding them purely to manipulate your behavior. Ick. Deleting. Before even trying. And I was so eager to try it. But this flipped me 180 and it's unlikely to win me back now.

Excited to see the changes made here. I think it’s headed in the right direction. The older version of ArcSearch was missing some key features, like easy tab switching, which this version brings to life.

Great animations. Can’t wait to see the progress!

Only slight annoyance is that the back button is hidden within the up chevron. This feels kind of cumbersome to use. Something like the old app might have better feel (accessible directly next to the search button or something)

AI search like Perplexity is game changing, but stuck with the same old browser. Browsing with Arc is game changing but with the same old search engines. Arc Search does both and does a great job when using other searches like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Even when you search there, when you click link to open in full browser, Arc Search comes in and makes the experience beautiful and continues the AI experience!

You guys are amazing!

First of all, I enjoy the realistic UI elements that are implemented through out ArcSearch . Also, I’ve been loving my experience so far using and learning about the “Browse for Me” options it made it 100% better now. Although my only small problem is that I wish I could save the photos to my album given in the summary of the “Browse for Me” as it would make it so much easier.

it’s the best app. (period) the ui could evolve to be more functional like bringing easels and more from arc desktop but search is amazing. Browse For Me. the best feature obv it’s ai and it’s great it just the start of a new era of search based ai and set it to duckduckgo and you got a rlly nice search setup there. i also must say its mandatory to replace safari on your dock with ArcSearch and if you have google or chrome there I’m really disappointed… change it to arc.

I’ve been testing a beta of the Arc browser on windows for the past week or so and while it doesn’t match its Mac counterpart in available features yet, I still find it truly unique and a pleasure to use.
So it’s only natural that I installed the mobile the day it became available.
It’s beautiful to look at. Feels streamlined and built-in. I can’t wait to see what’s next from The Browser Company of New York.

Although ArcSearch needs polishing, and the search results need refinement/reworking in some ways, I have faith that this company will deliver a 5 star product in the end.

Their Arc desktop browser is the most beautiful browser I have ever seen, but it’s also packed with nuance that makes it a wonderful experience to use.

Check that product out to get a glimpse in the future of this one.

There are many things in life I will fall apart if is changed and my browser is one of them I’ve been a dedicated chrome user since I’ve been able to use a computer. Arc browser took all the things that chrome did well and expanded on it.. I was so excited to see an email saying the. Mobile version was released now I can’t wait for windows to be available 😊

I have been using the Arc companion app since its launch— hoping for something more as it didn’t quite scratch the same itch that the Mac browser did for me.

Now after using the new Arc Search after seeing some teasers and finally getting a download off ArcSearch Store, mobile finally has a time to shine. AI-based Arc Max features are great & I already have abandoned the Arc companion + Safari. Never going back!

I always loved Arc especially on macOS, and when it dropped on iOS I knew that I would use it for certain, and I did! But I thought the “Browse for Me” feature was useless, boy was I wrong! I never expected myself to use it but now I always use it when I want a quick answer to quite literally anything. And I can’t forget to mention the amazing gestures, probably the first iOS browser to beat Safari at the gesture usability and how native they feel. And the look of the entire browser is just beyond beautiful. Amazing all-around

Very slick interface but the adblocker doesn’t compare to what I have enabled for Safari on iOS (via Wipr + AdGuard).

As an example clear all cookies/cache and then Google search any phrase. On the bottom of Google results page you will see a banner that says “Fast access to Google - Get the new Google widget - Get ArcSearch ”. You can “X” out of this banner but it will reappear every so often, and it will reappear when you clear cookies/cache. On Safari for iOS I have this completely blocked.

If you want to get us nerds and techies to switch over, the ad blocker needs to be more robust. What you have is a great start though.

Good app but there needs to be improvements with the reader view. Websites that I can use reader view on Safari don’t work here. Also, there should be an option to default reader view on for certain websites like in Safari. Also it’s annoying that the search bar pops up by default every time ArcSearch is opened so there definitely needs to be an option to turn that off. Last thing is there needs to be a setting to change the navigation bar at the bottom to black so some sort of dark mode.

+ Browse for me does the best job I have seen for GPT powered search!

As someone who has used ChatGPT since release, and Bing / Copilot for 6+ months I can say this is revolutionary! The Browse feature does an outstanding job with comparisons and summarization! Whatever Arc does behind the scenes to generate the search queries does an excellent job of getting more varied sources than a vanilla google search would, and including some point / counterpoint “expert” sources.

- I wish the default option when entering a query was browse for me,

ArcSearch started pretty barebones and was definitely not ready to be my default phone browser. However, multiple updates within the week ArcSearch launched have drastically improved it. The addition of Kagi as a search engine is wonderful, and I look forward to tab syncing with Arc desktop. The only thing is that I do miss certain extensions for safari, especially a dark mode for web pages (like noir).

Arc Search is magic. The “Browse For Me” feature generates high quality answers, and even adds additional info. It’s criminal that we haven’t had a search browser capable of sifting between multiple websites until now. Not even Bard or ChatGPT can provide an experience like this. This is a genuine tool from a company that cares about us and the web. The UI is really clean (like the desktop version). Overall, Arc Search makes searching fun.

I'm in love with ArcSearch. Seriously, thank you for just creating a simple, straightforward tool that can be downloaded and used in under a minute. No tedious account setup, no intrusive ads, no subscription pop-ups, and best of all, ArcSearch is simple enough to not even need a tutorial — you just type in whatever you'd like to search, and a beautiful, minimalistic article self-generates that provides more than enough knowledge than what a half-hour of searching on Google would have taught. I especially appreciate that ArcSearch just sticks to what it was designed best for and isn't attempting to execute additional features that aren't as useful. I definitely look forward to seeing what else this company has to offer! Their products feel very well intentioned.

I absolutely love Arc on Mac. And I so much want to be able to use Arc on all of my devices. But the truth is I don’t use my iPhone for web browsing that much. I use my iPad and my Mac. And unfortunately, there is no version of any arc for iPad natively. only the scaled versions of the iPhone apps, which are unfortunately just not suitable for normal browsing. At least there is the Arc sync app where I can get my tabs that I need. But that just adds many extra steps when on iPad it would be nice to just have an arc with sync and with all the features, that should be an arc. The four stars, however are because I know it is still new and I know they’re still working on everything. The one star missing is just for the fact that there is no native iPad app and there is no all in one app in general. If you have a Mac, I absolutely recommend downloading Arc. And if you use your iPhone for web browsing also recommend. And if you have an iPad, I would highly recommend sending out your request to the developers so that they know that it should be a priority.

ArcSearch is a joy to use and is a better experience in many ways to using a traditional browser and search engine. The “browse for me” feature will provide more detailed and sometimes faster answers than searching on google. However, it doesn’t always interpret questions or searches perfectly depending on what you ask it. My major complaint is that I run it on an IPhone X and it is painfully laggy in comparison to using google chrome. In addition, the browse for me feature is not as instantaneous as a google search, which is often inconvenient.

You should try it if you haven’t, because it is overall a positive and unique internet browsing experience. If they address these problems then I may consider using it as my default browser. But for now, I’m sticking with chrome.

I love ARC search it’s not my go to browser just yet but I kinda like keeping my two types of browsing separate. Arc is great when I want a list of options a comprehensive look at a topic so I can dive deeper. The problem is I just want to dive deeper into this rabbit hole but I can’t. I feel like this is a fundamental feature missing to this whole idea, please add some sort of “Reply” System where I can ask a question that would dive into further specifics of the original/last search.

This has already transformed my ability to get a lot of information quickly. We are at the beginning of a new Era!

I’m a huge fan of the Arc browser on Mac, so I was pretty interested in ArcSearch. Only occasionally will I save tabs for long term use, 95% of my phone web browsing is quick searches.

ArcSearch does the basics great, and it looks nice. Now where ArcSearch is incredible is the summarize for me feature. For a random search I don’t need to worry about sorting through ads, finding the right page, finding the information I want in that page. It summarizes topics and questions perfectly, it’s never missed on the search. Thanks for an awesome app!

Arch Search is an incredible App. It is truly the best way to find anything on the internet. I find myself multiple times a day just searching random stuff because I like the way it summarizes things for me.

My only complaint, and the reason I took one start off, is that I wish the search bar had better auto-correct capabilities. Whenever I’m typing something fast, it is mostly always gibberish that’s hard to understand, and I have to go back and take extra time to ensure it is correct. Natively, on iOS, autocorrect works everywhere but not on ArcSearch . I hope this is something that’s added in a future patch.

I use it daily. Absolutely wonderful feature which could kick search engines right where it hurts the most. Obviously super early too, but at least for me the concept of traditional internet search got a big fat crack all the way—Browse for me is probably the way it actually should work. What I think arc got very right is that for like 90% of your searches you just want a simple answer (versus a sea of links and spam articles) and then move on with your life. We found all places we ate at in Mexico using arc search and boy it didn’t miss a single time.

I love ArcSearch and the Ai features as well as being able to choose the search engine we want as default. The browse for me feature is so helpful and saves me so much time when searching for stuff.

In order to use this a default browser, there is is One bug I've found that I would love fixed. On the favorites list, once the list gets too long I can't access the bottom of it. It will not let me scroll down and see the last two at the end of my list. I wish there was a way to just drag up on the search bar and the keyboard would disappear and give access to the whole favorites list.

I’ve been using Arc Search since day 1 as well as Arc Browser on my Mac for well over a year now and have never looked back. This is an incredible app and while not perfect yet, The Browser Company has always been quick with updates and actually listens to user feedback (what a concept!).

A few things I would love to see improved here is the sensitivity of the back left swipe is too touchy for me. It may even be nice to have an advanced settings options where people can customize the sensitivity of the swipes, pinch to summarize, etc. I’m using a 13 Max Pro so maybe the larger screen is why mine feels so much more sensitive.

Also, I would love to see the old Arc mobile browser merge so that I am able to view all of my different spaces, folders and links on Arc Search or just one app in general. I shouldn’t have to switch between the two. I love the simplicity of Arc Search, but even if I have to tap a few times to find my spaces/folders that would still be very useful.

Otherwise, keep up the good work guys! You have a loyal community, myself included.

I absolutely adore the 'Browse for me' feature! I have spent months researching (without final resolution) numerous topics prior to using this browser. Its search engine has answered all of my prior questions within seconds in an intelligent manner, actually paying attention to nuance in my query. Every other AI that I have tried returns highly available and accessible information that doesn't answer the question asked. I can't wait to get the desktop (Windows) version of this browser!

I got the email announcement for this and had to download it immediately. While the AI research isn’t perfect, it does about as well (for me) as GPT-4 without the monthly subscription. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind paying a small monthly fee for it, but I’m glad it’s free for now. It’s also super clean and the haptic feedback makes it feel alive! Having the full screen taken up by the webpage with only a small navigation bar at the bottom is interesting, and I would complain about the lack of buttons, however for a mobile browser, I kinda like the simplicity.
If this ever gets ported to iPadOS (PLEASE!!!!), I would like to see more buttons available with one click instead of having to hit the up arrow and then back.
Can’t wait to see more cool features in the future!

This browser really nails the quickness of finding information. The browse for me is an amazing way to get information without having to do down a series of sites, this really frees up the amount of time I spend getting what I want. While it’s not perfect, they are constantly listening to feedback and updating every week, there is nothing like it.

The downsides for me at the time of writing this.
* No Arc sync built in (but this is in the pipeline)
* No iPad and VisionOS app (they need to make this widely available if it’s going to be a primary browser)
* Hyperlink to apps, it likes to hold onto the page(Should have a nice button on top to give me the option to open in app and even remember what pages I decided to open in app with a way to manage this in settings)

The pros for me at the time of writing this.
* Great design (love the look and feel of it)
* Browse for me is a game changer (decreases the amount of time I’m browsing by giving me information I need all while sourcing the information correctly)
* Awesome company (the company has so many talented humans)

There is nothing to lose trying this and this is by far the best value that would substantially increase happiness and productivity. 👍🏼

It’s necessary to allow users to browse taps and arrange them as a result at least four tabs could be visible on a screen at the same time,
It’s gonna get harder and harder for users to arrage and remember what tabs they opened before, as users continues to open more and more tabs.
I know arc is trying to make switching taps look much more like him switching between apps on iPhone, taps arranging and switching work differently on switching apps, the tabs contain more information really have to switch as quick as possible when taps are too many to locate efficiently.
In sometimes when users vent a lot of tabs and forgot some important taps. They opened the day before they woke up, so it really important to you Let the users know WHAT they open before IN A NEAT WAY and saves a lot of more time.
Because right now, switching between tabs in Arc is like finding some cards among 100 cards stacked together and those cards have no very visible signals for locating.
This like walking into a gallery with two rolls of paintings, arranged in a parallel way.

I WANT to love ArcSearch (and the MacOS version as well). It has great features, seems like an awesome company full of talented people. UI is great. The big things at this point that are holding me back from 5 stars and switching from safari to Arc is: 1) the integration with the Apple ecosystem. It would be so much more helpful if the browser tapped into the api to allow users to fill in passwords and other info from the Apple stored info (kinda like Edge does). It’s a kind of a hassle having to either save passwords and verification codes in two places or switch back and forth from Passwords settings to copy and paste. This means using two browsers for different things or starting my searches and browsing on Arc and then if I do make a purchase having switch back over to safari - very inconvenient when the whole point of technology is convenience. 2) no (native) iPad version. Need to be able to consistently browse from one device to another. This needs to be somewhat seamless like in safari. Having to use a second browser on iPad is just counter productive.

Overall it’s a pleasure to use Arc on my Mac and iPhone and I have gotten to use a few features that work amazing and I didn’t even know I needed. Can’t wait to see how this product matures and hope that it can eventually fill the gaps and I can switch over to this as my default across devices.

Arc search has surprised me with how good it is. All of the AI features are actually useful, and the interface and UI are surprisingly in depth. One of the parts I immediately noticed is the arc logo on the main page can be moved around and spun, which I personally really like. It’s fun to twiddle your thumbs with it.

Now for the cons: although I feel ArcSearch is amazing so far, it definitely needs some things from the desktop app. I was surprised about the sheer lack of features that the desktop app has (E.G profiles, spaces, icons, etc.), which I feel could be easily added and would be a good improvement. Spaces especially I think could be a good fit for ArcSearch . Overall though, I think Arc Search is an amazing app and an amazing start for the browser company on mobile, and I can’t wait to see how it improves in the future.

I’ve been using Arc on macOS for about a year, and I was excited to have a minimalist default browser with Arc Search on mobile with the same attention to detail.

As a researcher, I love the intuitive pinch-to-summarize feature. Instead of relying on Readwise Reader for AI-generated summaries, I can very easily filter which articles and papers I want to send actually to read later with Arc Search on the go. I use this feature much more than when I used BingAI in Edge on iOS.

I’ve found that I’m more inclined to use Browse for Me pages on essential topics, conceptual distinctions, etc., in my workflow as a reminder to Readwise to follow up and verify later than with other AI tools.

While it may be irksome for some to have Arc Search *and* the Arc Companion app, being able to pin links to Arc on desktop from Arc Search or anywhere is more than enough for my needs. I do still look forward to the integration of the two and an iPad app that will make me upgrade the archaic artifact that is my old iPad! The only thing holding a 5⭐️rating back is that the loading animation on the Arc Companion app is objectively better.

Regardless, few apps give me the same level of joy as Arc. Very promising start.

Seems like this browser really has potential. The “browse for me” and search features are very nice (as befitting the name of ArcSearch).

It certainly needs some additional features, however, to be a real browser replacement rather than a simple search app. It needs features such as profiles, page zoom, requesting desktop site, accessibility settings, an option to never close inactive tabs, a reading list, proper favorites and history, etc.

Update: the swipe gesture navigation was (mostly) fixed! It feels much better to use now, although the gesture still isn’t only from the edge and still sometimes accidentally triggers. Not sure if that was coincidental or prompted by my review, but it’s good to see devs constantly improving.

I am currently going to School for graphic design and the way the Arc browser has transformed my routines while interacting with my non-functioning community college and their Microsoft outlook infused nightmare into a smooth process of constantly being able to find anything and everything I need for my school projects and keep up with the daily grind, I can’t emphasize how intuitive this browser really is you’ll probably get sucked into it as quickly as you get sucked into TikTok.

Been a obsessed fan since day 1. Thanks guys, slow and steady updates win the race.

The Arc search is very quick and clean. It is currently optimized for searching up informations and less for holding tabs upon tabs of things. It will hold recent tabs for you, with auto archive for inactive tabs with settings you can pick from 12 hours to 2
30 days. There is no permanent tabs/bookmarks but the search bar shows past tabs in the history too, so I never felt like I need the bookmarking feature (would be nice to have though). The AI search actually helps summarizing the information without me having to click and scroll through pages to find them. Sometimes it even shows info I want that normal google search with the exact same keywords didn’t provide. Pretty impressed and switched to Arc search as my main browser now. Looking forward to the future updates for Arc search

I absolutely love Arc on Mac. And I so much want to be able to use Arc on all of my devices. But the truth is I don’t use my iPhone for web browsing that much. I use my iPad and my Mac. And unfortunately, there is no version of any arc for iPad natively. only the scaled versions of the iPhone apps, which are unfortunately just not suitable for normal browsing. At least there is the Arc sync app where I can get my tabs that I need. But that just adds many extra steps when on iPad it would be nice to just have an arc with sync and with all the features, that should be an arc. The four stars, however are because I know it is still new and I know they’re still working on everything. The one star missing is just for the fact that there is no native iPad app and there is no all in one app in general. If you have a Mac, I absolutely recommend downloading Arc. And if you use your iPhone for web browsing also recommend. And if you have an iPad, I would highly recommend sending out your request to the developers so that they know that it should be a priority.

This is hands down the best browsing experience I’ve had on mobile. It’s exactly what I wanted but none of the alternatives had it right.

I search for so many things everyday and in lots of the cases what I’m looking for is a quick summary of what’s out there probably on the first 2 pages of google. This is not something you get from a pure LLM (chatgpt) and not from a simple browser with search. That’s exactly what Arc got right.

Also very often when looking at a page I need a quick summary, and you get that with a simple pinch on Arc.

The design is perfect. Super clean and fast.
I love it. It saves me so much time.

Feature request

A total dark mode. Let me explain:
Unfortunately none of the browsers currently get this quite right. Current best is maybe Firefox or Brave, but those two have other issues.
First you need to realize that reader mode, and smart invert are not solutions.

A huge part of browser experience is looking at the page as is and also following links to other pages. Reader modes fails the former and smart invert fails during page switching and constantly flash bangs the user, it also messes up with top or bottom of screen and is in general inconvenient.

What I want from a dark mode feature is to completely limit the brightness of pixels on screen on all pages, all the time. Basically there should never be a large surface area on screen that is too bright. Never. Not even for a millisecond during page switch.

I got into the Arc Windows closed Beta and fell in love with it immediately. The ability to hide all tabs and shortcuts while browsing makes productivity great as there are minimal distractions.

It’s the same feel on the Arc Search app. The fact that there are only 3 minimal buttons on the bottom navigation while using the browser makes it so easy to stay focused on what you’re browsing for. Plus, the way the tabs mimic the same look and feel as navigating your open apps on iOS gives it a smooth, native experience.

The “Browse For Me” feature is also a huge time saver. In studying for my Discrete Math class it saved me time filtering through endless pages looking for a sufficient answer to help me understand a topic. In researching graph theory, this feature gathered the main pieces of information and presented it with a succinct introduction and transitioned fluently throughout the concept.

Thoroughly enjoy using these apps and features and plan on continuing using them for research, work, and recreation.

I've had Apple products for 10 years, and in those 10 years I've never left a review once… until today.

I couldn't help it this time though. I've been an early adopter of Arc since 2022, and all I can say about The Browser Company and what they're doing is amazing things. They are true innovators of their space, and I love everything that they're doing! It’s no wonder they’ve been able to shake up the whole internet. Also as an engineer/business owner I can't help but marvel at the technical feats that they've been able to accomplish, amazing UI and user experience they bring.

Everyone should be using Arc
