I switched last month and will never look back. The only downside for me is the bookmarking, very messy at the moment
Has anyone successfully made the transition to Arc? I’ve tried twice now but can’t get out of old habits 🤦♂️
For me, it was the interface. I mean, it's really beautiful. And "Spaces" is the best interpretation of the 'tab groups' idea that I've tried
It’s been hard for me to switch because I’m not unhappy with my browser ever since I just switched to Safari and kept things as simple as possible but I keep wanting to try it again.
I feel the same about Chrome, it does what I need and see very little problems, so I’m a little apprehensive to what value Arc could add.
It’s the features for me. Arc just takes what other browsers do and makes it slightly better, in some cases much better. Apple do the same, not always the first, but a lot of the time the best. It’s also highly customisable which I enjoy.
Yeah, like recent "Peek" feature!! One of the best UX improvements in any app in recent years
I find Arc sensational and I really think it could become a gamechanger but I have not been able to get used to it, at least not on the first try 🤷
I can’t get used to the border around the browser and don’t think I’m the target audience for their tab organization stuff (I embrace the chaos)
Spaces with different profiles are a game changer. You can use one browser window for you personal life, works, personal projects… etc
it’s awesome, you can have different accounts, history, organisation, extensions… you name it ahah
Fully transitioned to Arc and it’s a game changer. Being able to have spaces for personal and work things, plus the Mini Arc for temporary work or opening up web links in other apps is super nice.
I struggle with how favorites act as a “perma-state” no matter how far you navigated into the favorited site. Sometimes I want to reset them and go back to the original landing page I favorited. I can do it with pinned tabs but not favorites, I think.
Oh wowww that totally works. Thank you! That was one of the only things I was struggling with in Arc! Thanks man.
Same, tried two times but eventually returned to Safari. I can’t pinpoint what it is. Maybe it’s too much features and too designed for a browser. I need it as basic as possible.
This! I am still using Arc daily and giving it lot of chances. Too many features make it somehow less usable. Peek, Mini Arc, Spaces, 🤷🏻♂️
Exactly. And I can’t seem to get used to the sidebar. Muscle memory expects the tabs to be at the top 😄
I have! The hardest part for me was that I heavily switched tabs with keyboard shortcuts. Difficult in Arc if you pin anything. That being said, Workspaces are your friend.
I love it, can’t see myself going back. The spaces are especially useful when siloing different clients/work stream comms.
Arcs amazing! I'll never go back to traditional browsers, unless they reinvent themselves. Arc is a breath of fresh air and suits my workflow way better
I’m a full time Arc since last fall and this silly browser still make me feel giddy about it on a weekly basis. It took a month-ish going back and forth, but last two months I’ve opened Chrome maybe twice, and I’m not looking back
It’s only been a week for me and I love it. First couple of hours was an up and down of excitement and uncertainty. But then I was like “I’m going all in” and I set up everything in it. So far I really love it. The spaces with accounts is amazing.
