Arc Browser

Arc Browser is a next-generation Chromium-based browser developed by The Browser Company, first released in 2023 and acquired by Atlassian in 2025. Through innovative interface design and organization, it aims to redefine the web browsing experience and help users manage online workflows more efficiently.

Key Features

• Spaces workspaces: Create multiple workspaces in a single window to manage tabs for work, study, personal use, and other contexts separately, each space with its own theme and browser profile
• Vertical sidebar: Consolidates the search bar, tab list, bookmarks, and all other browser elements into a left sidebar, maximizing the content display area, with smart management that auto-archives unused tabs after 12 hours
• Split view and Easels: Flexible window management supports multiple tabs side by side, and Easels provides canvas-like collaborative spaces where you can save and organize web content for brainstorming
• Boosts customization: Lets users fully customize website appearance and behavior with CSS, HTML, and JavaScript — like extensions but with deeper personalization
• Arc Max AI features: Integrated AI assistance providing smart browsing suggestions and automated actions

Use Cases In daily work, product managers can use Spaces to keep research materials, collaboration documents, and communication tools for different projects separate; students can create a dedicated workspace for each course and use Easels to organize paper sources; developers can use split view to see documentation and a debugging page at once, improving multitasking efficiency.

Unique Advantages Arc adopts a design philosophy completely different from traditional browsers, fundamentally changing tab management through the vertical tab bar and workspace concepts. As a free product, it ships with the uBlock Origin ad blocker and pledges not to track user search data, excelling at privacy protection. Its Chromium core ensures full compatibility with Chrome extensions.
