Would you use Arc or Dia after the Atlassian acquisition?

TBC said they won't change a thing but a big company like Atlassian can impact how small teams work.

So curious what folks are thinking!

What's great

The most innovative browser I've used in a really long time. And that's great. Other browsers feel like copies of each other compared to Arc. I particularly like the split view and the fullscreen UX. Those are life changing.

What needs improvement

bookmarks (1)

Bookmarks!!!!! Please, please, please, add a feature where I can add persistent bookmarks. The way you make everything a tab is cool but I use my browser as a library of cool content I keep coming back to. You have no idea how many times I had to go back to my Safari and look for a bookmark there just because I closed a tab in Arc by a mistake.

vs Alternatives

Safari

I know I'm probably in a minority here but I keep coming back to Safari. It just works without drawing too much attention to itself, it syncs my content across several devices, and I don't have to think about my internet browser. And take that as you will, that's a huge plus.

How customizable is the interface without becoming overwhelming?

I think that Arc treads the line between customizable and overwhelming very well.

How intuitive are keyboard shortcuts out of the box?

Very intuitive. Only takes a few hours to get used to the most important ones.

Does the minimal interface hide essential controls?

Somewhat. I never had a problem with it but I'm someone who prefers keyboard shortcuts anyway.

Arc has quickly become my go-to browser thanks to its sleek design, intuitive tab management, and productivity-focused features. The interface feels modern and organized, making it easy to keep workspaces tidy and switch between projects. I especially appreciate the customization options and regular updates that keep improving the experience. While there’s a bit of a learning curve and some features are still being refined (especially on Windows), Arc stands out from traditional browsers like Chrome or Safari by making browsing feel more efficient and enjoyable.

I've been using Arc since it first launched, and I have to say, it's really redefining what a web browser can be! One of my favorite features are the spaces, which helps me keep my tabs extra tidy. Plus, the AI features such as the AI search or the AI summary are just so helpful! That said, I do think they still have some room for improvement, especially when it comes to performance. Safari on my Mac is definitely faster, especially when I'm working with heavy-data SaaS applications, so I find myself using it for those. Overall, I'm excited to see what new features Arc will roll out next!
