That new Arc browser is a breath of fresh air
Oct 9, 2024
It’s hard to explain exactly why this browser works so well for my chaotic brain, but it just does. After giving it a shot as my main squeeze for a couple weeks I realized I had way fewer tabs open, way fewer rogue windows, and my pinned favorites worked SO well for things like email and my calendar.
I became a fan pretty quickly, getting a little too excited to nerd out about it when I would see a colleague using it while screensharing. Surprisingly, their release notes are the thing that transformed me into a super fan.
Release notes have never, ever, ever, come close to piquing my interest in the past. They usually feel like an afterthought, left purposely vague… “We fixed some bugs and improved performance.”
The Browser Company does it differently. They let use get a peek behind the curtain. Not only do they let us know what they’ve changed, but they even show internal Slack threads to let you see why they made decisions. They call the engineers and designers out by name for each feature. Not to mention, they are constantly pushing out meaningful updates that make an actual difference for users.
This transparency and active effort to humanize their company has me invested. It’s not just another soulless browser, it’s a group of passionate and talented people that are invested in making my life easier. More of this plz.
