NOTHING mentioned on this page can't be done natively or with extensions in other browsers. What is so revolutionary about it? And I won't even mention the landing page for the browser itself which is just 2 page scrolls of "Arc is a browser and more..." with signup links for the wainting list, no description of what it is, what it does, nothing.

It's called paid advertisement, and that's how these blogs make money.

Yup. I wonder if people who "always carefully arrange my apps on my extended desktop" and have time to write articles such "The 46 Mac Apps I Actually Use and Why" actually do some work or just spend their time tidying and making lists.

The article's main claim is that Arc is the most transformative software in decades, plural, which takes us to a time before Google Maps existed, before all smartphone apps existed, and before online banking was ubiquitous. It's safe to say this article was written from somewhere on the hype curve.

I hate this trend of landing pages that don’t show anything because they’re ~ so mysterious ~ Anyway, as someone who doesn’t use Arc (yet) but had the chance to assist a quickie (15 minutes presentation in a conference) and had a coworker show it to me, I have to say I’m excited to give it a try when I get the chance. It really seems to solve cleanly some pain points I’ve had for years: - vertical / horizontal split of tabs is supported - auto closing of tabs seems like a great feature - easels look extremely useful, even for dashboarding (they even allow to embed page sections with auto reload) - links from other apps open in « little arc » so they don’t pollute the tab list (unless you actively want to keep the tab) I’m glad to see innovation in this space.

  if you want to try it, here is an invite code: https://arc.net/gift/18d8d85b https://arc.net/gift/18d8d85b I personally didn't like that everything is in the side bar, especially because it makes it difficult to see an entire URL. I also missed the ability to group tabs like in Microsoft Edge, but the "Spaces" would probably be able to replace that.
