I recall downloading Arc — being interested in a fresh take on browser UX, but then being very put-off by the fact that it wanted me to give it my credentials to numerous services.
Maybe I should try it again, but I'm very cautious about signing into Google, Slack, Discord, etc. via a 3rd party app...
But interesting for sure! I started using it around beginning of this year I believe? I’m definitely with you on giving credentials to 3rd parties, so maybe it’s something they got rid of by the time o joined! I’d definitely suggest giving it another go!
Chrome and Firefox but I really want to switch to just Firefox. I wish Firefox had multi user accounts and tab grouping since I rely on those two features all the time.
Firefox, or Brave when things don't work on Firefox. Arc looks interesting from this thread and I've requested an invite. I keep an eye on Safari, especially new privacy features regularly being added and supported by Apple - though I'm aware of their privacy policy generally means they protect your privacy from everyone except Apple.
UPDATE: Opening the app asks for a login, when I enter my email it says not on the Waitlist so I guess they've changed it to require an invite before you can use it.
Same. I like Edge’s tab groups and collections, and it obviously works well with Google Docs etc, which I need to use for work. And then Firefox for most everything else because it’s not evil and has better add-ons than Safari.
Also… I like to use bookmark folders on the toolbar and Safari’s implementation of that is stupid.
I was reading comments in this thread about Arc, and I was intrigued and watched a youtube video about it. The thing I don't understand (and I haven't tried Arc yet) is how are the Arc tabs different than just leaving the tab groups expanded on the left in Safari? The UI looks almost identical. Is there a usage model that I've missed?
Waterfox at the moment. It reduces some of the telemetry in vanilla Firefox, it's fast, and it's very stable. I refuse to install or use anything Chrome-based on my Mac. If I need (for some reason) to use Chrome, I use my work laptop for that.
Chrome for work. As a web dev, it's our primary target. Firefox for personal stuff, just to keep the logins separated, plus, I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since the mid '00s; creature of habit, at this point.
