What are your favorite features of the new Arc Browser and do you plan to use it? At this time Arc for Windows is lagging behind the macOS version in features. Those features should be coming soon... Thanks for watching :)

I'm a Brave loyalist, but I do love to see what other browsers have to offer. This one looks simple and fun

I really like the ability to choose between vertical and horizontal split. It's really useful.

[asan]

Excellent! Needed that, Have ARC but was confused about how to get the most from it, Thanks!!! Great tutorial Brett!

_sigh_ I miss the days when you could just start your computer and use the Internet. Now everyone requires you to create usernames and password in a world of regular data breaches where personal data and usernames/passwords are stolen daily and companies tell ou to change your password as a precaution.

This is awesome. I first saw vertical tab stacking in Vivaldi and found it quite compelling. Now Safari has tab groups, which are similar to the Spaces in Arc, but Safari lacks much of the Chromium-based behaviour.

Ive been on Edge for a year now due to the tabs being on the side, now I can use Arc and ditch Edge as that was the only draw I had to it.

I've been using the Windows version for a couple months and it quickly became my default browser. I do like it a lot, and it's not even at feature parity with the Mac version yet.

Having to create an account ... doesn't sound good.

[TiE]

Wait. I’ve been hearing about this for months and finally took a look and almost ever feature covered here is in Edge. Tab groups, tab sidebar, split screen, and a bunch of other stuff. The only thing missing is link previews.

[shawnab]

Thanks! Looks interesting. I'll try it out.

Compared to vivaldi and brave does it have an equivalent amount of features?
Vivaldi has tons of features but is a little heavy
Also, will ublock origin on yt work on it or not?

[marcopineda]

I been loving Arc browser in windows but still feels like a Beta, there is a lot of missing features from his version on MacOS, customization could be a bit better, i would like the URL to be in the same spot as his MacOS version (above your favorites) and they definitely need to improve the performance, specially when you open it when it's fully closed, microsoft edge opens like in less than a second, while Arc can take up to 5 seconds or more

What is your feedback on Arc's usage of memory resources?

[Nihit]

Can you please share something about the differences b/w Vivaldi & Arc
I have been using Vivaldi for the past year & it is fast, clean, as minimal as you want && It has workspaces which is similar to what arc has, sure there are differences & that's what I want to know

[TheRedPolyhedral]

I've had Arc for a few months, and I use it when I remember. I find that Chrome extensions don't always work with it, which is a time-consuming nuisance, but general browsing is just fine. And it's not Microsoft. Or Google.

[mickey_malone]

😳really? finally🥳🥳 i arc browser🥰🥰 now i can use on my windows yay🕺

[duncansgamechest]

Prefer Brave, but giving Arc a try. I do like how it displays mail clients. It may be a fine companion browser.

[Felix_EN]

What kind of privacy features does it have? Is it anything like thorium or firefox?

[LouisHansell]

I always learn something from your videos.
I like a Chrome extension called Speed Dial 2. I can enter the URL of my favorite sites, and they appear as icons in an array as a home screen. I can add, rearrange and remove them easily.
Does Arc have anything like that? For that matter, does Brave, Opera or Vivaldi have anything like that?
