Been using Arc for over a year on Mac. Loving it. The tab management and retrieval of archived tabs/history is super useful. As are the pinned tabs that remain across spaces.
used it for over a month but eventually decided to let it go since it was too buggy for me to rely on it. One of the bugs i faced was it not opening without internet, and I'm in college where the wifi would only connect me to internet after i've entered the password from site. So basically I cannot open it without using some other browser first
I see. Personally, I still like Brave and don't see a compelling reason to switch. But I wanted to check this out and see what everyone is talking about.
My Brave is getting slower and Slower any Ideas how I can fix it, It Stutters and it feels like 60Hz when I am using a 144Hz Monitor, I reinstalled it but it just doesn't seem to work, Turned Hardware acc, off but I just can't ! Help me !
Hm.. 🤔 I was about to suggest that hardware acceleration thing. Maybe it's some RAM optimisation issue? Have you tried turning off any memory saving features?
Resizing instructions are provided by the website and not by arc browser so you can't blame it on arc. To hide windows it's windows +D key not ctrl + D
I meant the window was resizing by moving to the left when I was extending the right edge. That seemed strange to me. Not the contents of the website. And you're right about the desktop shortcut. Even though I knew it from muscle memory, I confused it with Ctrl.
I'm gonna be honest, I've been using the mac version of arc for a long time, and I just jumped across onto the windows version- it's not even close to what the mac one is. I'm exited for the windows experience to become a little more refined because there are just minor annoynaces compared to the mac version. Like for example- I found that I couldn't shift select multiple tabs like on mac. There's a bunch of gimicks where arc for windows is great, but it will definitely become a LOT better (assuming it gets as refined as the mac experience)
Arc, because of the tab management. I hate how chrome doesn't have the same Ctrl Tab feature to switch to last used tab. I'll need to use some extension for that. Ideally though, I prefer Brave.
Vivaldi user here. Haven't seen anything that Vivaldi doesn't do. Vertical tabs? Tab groups? Workspaces? Tab tiling? Notes? Quick commands? Got all that in Vivaldi and a lot more. Apart from Arc looking nice, I'm missing the killer feature here. So far all I have seen is quite beautifully packaged hype. -> "Bro chill, it's just a browser" cracked me up :-) Oh, and I remember tiling tabs 25 years ago or so. Yawn.
Couldn't agree more. One thing stands out for me when trying it is the separate workspace. Like you can set each workspace completely unique, from extension to accounts. Apart from that, Arc windows is still in development. There's quite a few bugs and there's not even a dedicated settings pages like the mac os version or like any other browser.
Yeah this browser has been overhyped af. Maybe it'll be a decent browser when they release the stable version and fix the high ram usage. Even then I don't see it offering anything that other browsers don't offer. It's just another browser
@@TheHopelessGeek but they market the browser like it's the next big thing 😂 , Good for them I hope they do something cool In the future because all Browsers are as boring as they could be right now And that's not a bad thing but something new and innovative would be cool to see
I really like this(beta) already as i can manage my tabs in spaces and folders (Im a student) . Plus i am a sucker for apps with good design and i personally like Arcs design
The concept is amassing specially for managing different accounts at the same time, i like it. but we need to deeply test their privacy policy first. we don't want another company tracking and selling every byte of our personal private data. also a browser without an ad-blocker future in 2024 is worthless, we reached the level where it's super painful to browse internet without efficient ad-blocking tools. i hope that they are supporting that too.
@@TheHopelessGeek A browser which require a email id for download link and later we need an account for using it. I'll rather go for Firefox but never create an account for browser
well its does looks clean and a bit aesthetics kinda mac os vibes the split screen is also nice ... also just now i opted for waitlist... oops windows user alert
You mean Chromium-based. That need not be the same. For instance, Brave operates within a closed container without sending data outside of the browser to Google, unlike Chrome. Just because a browser uses a similar build doesn't make it the same as mainstream Chrome browser.
Perhaps it requires a good GPU as well for all those graphics. I run a 16 GB PC too, but it wasn't that bad, even with Brave and Chrome running in the background
I have ARC on windows since the alpha. and while very buggy at the beginning, the design is really something else. - the we all have fast internet moment tho - CRY OUT LOUD
😂that seems to be the case with most new tech these days. Even large companies like UA-cam aren't any better. Their Studio app in particular loses good features with each "update" 🙆🏽♂️
0:22 Why the hell I need an account..if you release on Windows.? what do you expect all. are having their Apple IDs...and having I phones 😂😂? Even google is generous to ask optionally!!
To me, it seemed very similar to Stack browser with that multi window aspect. This may be better than Edge for privacy and extension options, but I can't tell a difference from Stack.😅
Recording live helps with my accent? Yeah... No. I'll make more mistakes which will make it less seamless when editing. I've done this many times before and this is a more efficient method. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion. But don't worry about someone else's accent, mate. We are strangers who will never meet. So just focus on your own life. I'll do the same. We don't need to approve of one another. 👍🏾
*UPDATE:* ARC is now available for Windows. No need of the waitlist: arc.net

What about for gooning? You still use your main browser or you got a throw away browser?
does the windows version has the themes feature for each site?
No, that "boost" feature isn't here on the Windows beta.
I used it for a couple of hours.I do not see any significant feature in arc so that I should shift from brave to arc.
Same. It's a cool design, but I think I've gotten used to Brave.
How good is it on protecting privacy and what add ons can you use on it?
It uses Chromium and supports most extensions. It comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled. They claim to not send user data to any external parties.
Do you know of any privacy focused browser with the Arc features (spaces, split tabs)?
Hm.. can't think of one with these features. I'll see if I find something
My Brave is getting slower and Slower any Ideas how I can fix it, It Stutters and it feels like 60Hz when I am using a 144Hz Monitor, I reinstalled it but it just doesn't seem to work, Turned Hardware acc, off but I just can't ! Help me !

@@TheHopelessGeek Yes, I've done that too but nothing seems to work.
Maybe try clearing the data and cache. You might've tried it already. Is there sufficient RAM for it to run?
@@TheHopelessGeek Yes i have done that too and Yes I have an 8GB stick inside 3200MHz
Hm.. are you sure if 8 GB is sufficient? Brave can easily consume up to 1.5 GB by itself within a few tabs 😅

Try the boot feature, it allows you to change the site to any color theme you want
Oh, that's cool. I'll check it

Yes, I imagined so. Hopefully the Windows experience will be better with time, now that they have released an official version.
Edge, Chrome and Arc, which one would you prefer?
Arc, because of the tab management. I hate how chrome doesn't have the same Ctrl Tab feature to switch to last used tab. I'll need to use some extension for that.
Ideally though, I prefer Brave.

the split feature is available on edge and works perfectly.
Oh, I didn't know that. But this is better than Edge in aspects of privacy and tab management
@@TheHopelessGeek yes in term of privacy it maybe better. You can use verticle tab on edge too but its not as feature full as ARC.
Yes, I've seen that setting.
Split feature Vivaldi has better than edge and arc.
I remember trying it a long time ago.
isn't it Windows key + D for Desktop? 3:20
Ah, I think you're right. I misspoke. I didn't even notice my own muscle memory. Thanks for the correction
i am using brave and i do not see any groundbreaking feature to change my browser
There isn't that much of an innovation here. It's mostly just a better management style for a lot of tabs.
@@TheHopelessGeek but they market the browser like it's the next big thing 😂 ,
Good for them I hope they do something cool In the future because all Browsers are as boring as they could be right now

Yeah 😂. But I'm all for a new concept if it proves to be well optimised. This seems promising, albeit nothing radically different.
@@RiteshKumarPandaIf you think they are all boring what would you like to see? They certainly aren’t all the same.
@@kevinmcfarlane2752 new interesting features
does it have an adblock
Update: Yes, it has uBlock Origin pre-installed.
Yes
Same as brave browser
I really like this(beta) already as i can manage my tabs in spaces and folders (Im a student) . Plus i am a sucker for apps with good design and i personally like Arcs design
It does have good design and tab management style, but that's about it. 😅 It takes up more resources than necessary to handle it's UI.
I don't understand why its not available on win10
Oh, did it not work on Windows 10?
this looks clean
Yeah, it's quite nice 🙂
The concept is amassing specially for managing different accounts at the same time, i like it.

I agree. Thankfully, this browser comes with uBlock Origin preinstalled!
how can I install it in windows?
You have to sign up to their waiting list. They will then email you a download link to the browser's exe file.
@@TheHopelessGeek A browser which require a email id for download link and later we need an account for using it. I'll rather go for Firefox but never create an account for browser
crashes instantly after opening on windows 11 for me. bummer
Uh oh. Maybe try clearing data and reinstalling?
Asking to register an account to use it? Instant uninstall
😂haha, I get it. I wish they have an option to skip
well its does looks clean and a bit aesthetics kinda mac os vibes the split screen is also nice ... also just now i opted for waitlist... oops windows user alert

Are you implyimg thst chrome is suicidal with thr Thumbnail? Arc is chrome the ssme way opera and brave are chrome as well

@@TheHopelessGeekHave you ever used Vivaldi?
I have, a while ago. Made a video on it too 🙂
2:55 Microsoft Edge
I remember seeing it on Stack browser a year ago, but I guess Edge browser has it too.
I had to uninstall it cause Windows says it's a Trojan. Such a shame given that I had been waiting for the beta for a while
It must've been a false positive flag, because I had no such issues.
its not
Needs extension support
It supports most chrome extensions since it's based on Chromium
Arc.. the Apple of browsers
More like, the browser for Apple.😅 In typical Apple fashion, it doesn't work that well on Windows.
2:52 maybe edge?
😅Edge has it too, I forgot. But I was thinking about Stack browser. 2:59
i have try and i feels it's ok
Yeah, it's alright
The performance is Abysmal, even for a 16GB ram machine.

Vivaldi TOP!
Yes, Vivaldi is very good 👌🏽
Barely has any features on windows.
Yeah, some cool features are missing 😅
Excessive power usage, not worth it
That's true, it does consume quite a lot of resources despite not opening that many tabs.
get better pc
@@zainmoni3957 not everyone want a powerful computer which stays at home. Arc consumes excessive battery, making it useless for laptops.

After every update they don't fix bugs and they create such. I give up from this misunderstanding! A buggy browser!

@@TheHopelessGeek Communication with support is disgusting. Automatic system for answer. Probably ARC will be a failure. Big noise for nothing.
I see. I haven't contacted them for anything. Let's see what they can work up in the coming months.
@@TheHopelessGeek He doubts me something to change. 1 month I use it and with every update it gets worse. Uninstalling...

Yandex Browser best
I haven't tried that one yet. What's unique about it?
Seems like nothing more than a ripoff of Edge browser... but with just a FRACTION of what Edge can do!
To me, it seemed very similar to Stack browser with that multi window aspect. This may be better than Edge for privacy and extension options, but I can't tell a difference from Stack.😅
