↳ Realize I didn't make it clear enough in the video, while Arc started as MacOS only, it is headed to Windows later this year (that was always the plan).
↳ Chromium is actually a fork of Webkit (built atop it), so Webkit wasn't created by Apple to compete with Google.

About the Web Browser Software Space:
↳ What if a web browser didn't need to be built for all platforms out of the gate, and could instead focus their time and attention solely on bringing the best user-experience to the user, pulling forward the industry? We're seeing this happen right now with Arc Browser.

arc is the reason my parents are still together

This is actually the best video I've seen comparing Arc to other browsers. Until now, people have focused on "why Arc is good" instead of "why Arc is better." Not only that, but you've described the practices and reasons for why browsers do things and why they're built the way they are. Genuinely a video I'd recommend to people who I believe should take an interest in why they should care about their browsing experience. Great job Alex, this is a great video, love the detail and research.

I've been using ARC since the Beta and haven't looked back. They do many things I enjoy, hide tab, shortcuts and use AI creatively, and offer nice bonuses like notes and easels.

[TarateelQuraniyyah]

Arc for Windows is estimated to come out during the month of December 2023.

[bobDotJS]

Looks like I'm going to set up Arc now

[thetonyclay]

This video is basically an ad for arc, not really a fair comparison IMO.

[BehindTheFilm]

How do I like the video a 2nd time? 🔥
I still can't believe you convinced me to be fully on Arc. 😂 I can be pretty stubborn

[swiftrealm]

Brave didn't copy vertical tabs from Arc. Vertical tabs have been a thing way before Arc existed with Firefox extensions, Edge, and Vivaldi.

I'm convinced. I have been using Firefox for a year now, coming from Chrome, not that I hate Chrome, no, I hate Google, but Firefox sadly is not better than Chrome. I just downloaded Arc, let's hope it's the one. Thank you for this great video.

Your information about Webkit and the chrome engine isn't accurate. The chromium engine is a fork of Webkit, which was renamed to Blink. Blink was open-sourced and continued forward, with the reference implementation existing in the Chromium browser. That's what people are using for the basis of other browsers. But Apple didn't "choose not to use the Chrome engine." The Blink engine was a fork of Webkit. Apple continued developing Webkit and continues it today.

[bhanubansal]

how about the memory usage in arc compared to chrome?

[mrbostjanv]

Interesting video. Safari was out before Chrome and in the beginning Chrome was build on Webkit till 2013.

I've switched between so many browsers in the past few years. Idk, I just don't like sticking to one, it gets boring.

[robnowe]

ANY browser that forces you to give up your ID info (email etc) as a condition of use is DOA.

[judec]

Love the editing on the part where you talked about playing YouTube videos in Arc. Clean

[imvineprexde]

Great video and great top pick, all my love goes to Arc! And you have my sub. ;)

[abass_]

I may or may not have been persuaded to buy my first MacBook after arising jealousy from seeing my wife use Arc on the day-to-day 😅

[stinkfacecheesemonke]

Really looking forward to trying Arc (still on Windows for now). Does anyone know how efficient it is resource-wise? RAM hog like Chrome? How is it with battery? Etc
