Arc

Arc is a Chromium-based web browser developed by The Browser Company. Founded in 2019 by Josh Miller and Hursh Agrawal, it launched publicly in 2022. The tool solves tab overload and workspace fragmentation through vertical sidebar navigation.

Features

• Spaces and Profiles: Organize tabs into separate workspaces with distinct themes and browser profiles for work, study, or personal use in one window.
• Command Bar Navigation: Access websites, pin tabs, duplicate content, and search browser history through a Spotlight-style interface without traditional menus.
• Boosts Customization: Modify website appearance using CSS, HTML, and JavaScript to change colors, fonts, or remove elements permanently across sessions.
• Split View: Display up to four tabs side-by-side simultaneously for multitasking without switching between windows or browser tabs.
• Arc Max AI Features: Auto-rename downloads and tabs, generate link previews on hover, and integrate ChatGPT directly through the Command Bar.

Use Cases

• For Developers: Switch between test accounts using Profiles, access Developer Mode for quick tool access, and maintain separate browsing data per workspace.
• For Students: Separate research tabs from personal browsing using Spaces, utilize Easels for project whiteboarding, and keep files organized with auto-renamed downloads.
• For Remote Workers: Manage client projects in isolated workspaces, use Air Traffic Control to route external links automatically, and leverage built-in ad blocking.
• For Power Users: Auto-archive old tabs after customizable periods, sync tabs across Mac, Windows, and iOS devices, and support all Chrome extensions natively.

Arc reimagines browser design with vertical tab management and workspace organization. The Browser Company was acquired by Atlassian for $610 million in September 2025.
