What is Arc Browser?
Tired of browser tabs piling up like digital clutter? Meet Arc, a fresh take on web browsing designed to feel calm, personal, and actually yours. Built by The Browser Company, Arc ditches the noise of traditional browsers and focuses on what matters: helping you stay focused, organized, and in control—whether you're working, studying, or just scrolling for fun.
Unlike Chrome or Safari, Arc rethinks how you interact with the web from the ground up. It’s not just another tab manager—it’s a whole new way to experience the internet that adapts to your habits, keeps your data private, and even looks beautiful while doing it.
What are the features of Arc Browser?
- Spaces & Profiles: Separate your work, school, and personal browsing into clean, color-coded Spaces—all in one window.
- Split View: Browse two sites side-by-side without opening extra windows or losing focus.
- Privacy-First Design: Arc doesn’t track your searches or visited sites—your activity stays yours.
- Custom Themes & Layouts: Personalize your browser’s look and feel to match your mood or workflow.
- Chromium-Based Engine: Enjoy full compatibility with Chrome extensions and websites, but with a cleaner interface.
- Intuitive Organization: Pin favorite sites, collapse unused tabs, and rediscover content easily with Arc’s smart layout.
