“it was for a power user. Having multiple profiles, and a clean working environment”

“Arc managed to do a lot more with their browser with way less money than Mozilla.”

“it's the only chromeclone that feels somewhat at home on macOS and hasn't succumb to an ugly generic flat look”

“Arc was a superb browser, far superior to any of the others due to the care they took over the UX.”

“vertical tabs are terrible because if you have 2 browser windows and tile them side-by-side, suddenly 40% of your screen is wasted”

“It was a good browser with pleasant UI and interesting features that broke the status quo.”

“vertical tabs are terrible because if you have 2 browser windows and tile them side-by-side”

“The pivot from one new browser to another new ai browser was insanely bad optics and aura loss.”

“they lost a lot of my trust after that massive security vuln that they shipped as a silly customization feature”

“The main features I miss from Arc are Peek, Air Traffic Control, and Nested Folders.”

“The UX of Arc was (and still is) MUCH, MUCH better than Chrome's.”

“It is a bit cumbersome right now as I have to run it on an SSD attached to my mac.”

“The Arc UX is still my favorite desktop browser UX out there even to this day”

“The distinction between pinned (soft-bookmarked) tabs and other tabs is very useful for me organizing things at work.”

“I've been using Arc for years now and am really sad to see it being sunset”

“flushing all that user goodwill down the toilet when they announced that Arc development was ending”

“the people who just killed their browser after promising it would be maintained indefinitely”

“They took a cheap way out with building a second browser, lost most of their userbase”

“its appeal for so many of us was its refreshing opinionated stance on the browser UX”

“some browsers (Arc, Dia) are so gorgeous you don't want to work with anything else”

“The only thing I think I can't do is the "Little Arc", which does seem handy.”

“"Little Arc" - just a window that opens in the view you're in, on any other app, and disappears after a set time”

“they’re both innovative in ways that’s not matched by open source counterparts”

“They just had to look at Arc for what people want out of the future of browser design”

“Aside from amazing tab management story that made it hugely popular, it was a pretty uninspiring Chrome clone overall.”

“it has a different way of organizing tabs into spaces in a quite intuitive and easy way”

“Arc may still be around, but it’s pretty clear where the future is being built”

“Arc nailed this perfectly with the vertical tabs and multiple "spaces"”

“Arc is still great on macOS (not so much the Windows build, essentially an abandoned beta)”

“It was very nice to so easily swap between personal, work, & side business.”

“Arc proved that a persistent sidebar changes how you interact with content fundamentally.”

“it's actually pretty good and last I checked had most of the baked in google stuff toggled-off by default”

“People saw the real differences and it had fairly brisk adoption across a number of different type of folks”
