The long wait has ended for Windows 11 users! The Browser Company has officially released Arc browser 1.0.1 after an extensive beta period. Users are now able to download and utilize Arc without having to join any waiting lists.
Windows 10 Users Await
Windows 10 users, on the other hand, may have to exercise patience before getting their hands on the browser. Presently, Arc exclusively supports Windows 11. Users on Windows 10 will need to wait a while longer. Additionally, an ARM64 version of Arc is in the works for users with ARM-based Windows devices, promising compatibility in the future. Notably, the Windows edition of Arc makes use of Apple's Swift programming language, mirroring the approach taken in the macOS version, facilitating the sharing of core code between the two platforms.
Features and Interface
Arc boasts a distinctive interface featuring a sidebar that hosts various functionalities such as tabs, library, easels & notes, spaces, boosts, and archived tabs. It introduces innovative capabilities like tab renaming, link peeks before opening, and in-browser note-taking.
Pros and Cons
While Arc showcases promising features, it comes with its challenges. Users may find it challenging due to its novel design and reliance on keyboard shortcuts. Despite its innovative attributes, some may argue that it is not yet suitable for widespread adoption. With a fresh user base, the Browser's reception among the public remains to be seen.
