Iâm excited to see the â1.0â launch of the browser Arc. Iâve been using Arc as my main browser (along with Safari and some Chrome sparingly) on my MacBook, and I have to say⊠itâs impressive.
Browsers seemingly slipped from the âwowâ factor of the internet about 15 years ago after Google finally launched Chrome despite the best efforts of Firefox, Brave, Opera etc to get the mainstream about browsing again. Apps took their place as the way to access the web for most people, and as our main screen sizes shrunk, so did our attention for interesting browser features.Â
However, I do think weâre at an inflection point and weâll see interest around concepts such as Arc that will move us away from a centralized app-based future of the web towards further democratization and decentralization of what the internet should mean.Â
Way to go, Browser Company!
A browser that doesnât just meet your needs â it anticipates them.
Also, if you head over to the credits page, you can find me there as a long-time tester in the pre-launch phases!
