Not a good look it not being on the main page! I personally use [zen browser](https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop); https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop); I like the ideas of Arc, but it always seemed sketchy to me, especially it being Chromium-based and closed-source.

Heads up: HN doesn't support link naming markdown and some of the extra characters broke the hyperlink. In case the parent can't fix it in time for the edit window: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop

  I wouldn't be surprised if some HN client apps support markdown.

    I use the Octal app on iOS which does, though it seems the trailing ; broke the link for this md renderer.

The only feature Zen browser missing is tab folders, once they implement it I really don't have a reason to have Arc browser anymore.

  Hell despite missing tab groups, Zen browser is the only browser that finally had a "good enough" vertical tabs implementation, which allowed me to finally drop Edge as my main browser.

    What do you not like about Firefox's Tree Style Tabs? I might be open to an alternative.

      I Cant't hide the tab bar without some userProfile.css hacks, while in Zen it has first class support. It's more a matter of saving precious vertical space.

        I see. Yes, I already hid the stock tab bar years ago and forgot about it.

    I'd be curious for your comparison to Waterfox, which added vertical tab integration a while ago.

I used Arc for a while because despite my misgivings about using a browser that requires an account etc the workflow was very good for me I started moving to Zen about a week ago, hearing about this vulnerability yesterday and especially seeing their reaction to it I know I made the right choice in leaving Arc.
