Initial impression, this is meant for people who don't have 16 virtual desktops 😀
I have 16 virtual desktops and the features Arc provides are not useful for me. Sidebar for tabs, ability to make split views (I can already snap windows side by side), archiving tabs.
I've been trying out #Arc Browser and Mac and Windows and quite like it. I installed the iOS app today, but can't find where to create a new profile (as opposed to a new space).
The Browser Company, makers of the Arc web browser, released its Windows version today. The company started testing the Windows client in December, and it said that more than 150,000 people have been using it.
@iammannyj Have you tried it and if you have what's your initial thought? I've read about it on countless forum posts but didn't get around to using the browser.
@pheonix - not yet, although I want to. I am a Windows 10 holdout, and general Linux user. There is a workaround, to get it to work, so I will "attempt" to install it later on my backup device. Otherwise, I may just try it out on another Windows 11 PC, or virtualize it. General release is "supposed" to be later on.
Qué maravilla que haya una nueva oportunidad para #gigantic. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1924490/Gigantic_Rampage_Edition/
Un juego muy divertido y bonito, pero tremendísima cagada que tuvieron hace años con este videojuego del que sólo nos acordamos quienes jugamos sus primeras betas por su brillante idea de firmar una exclusividad para #Xbox y la #MicrosoftStore sin avisar, desapareciendo del launcher y tienda de #Arc (Perfect World) y perdiendo SEO.
Ahora ya es de pago y queda en #Steam que es más estable.
I strongly recommend episode 179 of the @ruminate podcast. Such an excellent commentary and explainer about "AI", scraping and generally the state of things regarding original content. Definitely worth a listen (starts at around 14:45).
Does anyone know anyone at the #TheBrowserCompany. I raised a support case a few weeks ago and apart from the automated response, I have heard nothing.
Existing #Arc for Windows beta Members can now import their bookmarks from another browser. To do this go to the Arc menu > Import from Another Browser and follow the prompts. Arc for Windows beta supports importing from the following browsers:
I've installed the #Arc#Browser for #Windows and immediately have some mixed feelings. I'm very conservative on tabs and the tab-sidebar feels like a massive waste of space... Despite that, and the disappointment of Chromium engine, it looks and works quite ok... :bulbasaurroll:
@ssamulczyk yeah wish there were more engines. I’m with you on that. For a brief moment, I wondered if Arc would be that company given they were interested in performance and rendering. But they seem to have focused on the AI-ness of everything. Bummer really.
@gurupanguji I consider AI a useless schtick. What I need in a browser is to have an address bar, some tabs and render websites… Firefox team also started mumbling about AI. It looks like except maybe some niche stuff, my beloved Safari is the only one left that’s normal (I’m primary an iPad user) and it’s a pity they stopped making it for Windows…
