What Arc is
Arc is a browser rebuilt around how people actually work: spaces group tabs by project, split view puts pages side by side, easels collect web content like whiteboards, and AI features assist search and browsing.
What you can do with it
- Keep projects in separate spaces

- Collect and annotate web clippings
- Use AI features for search and pages
- Keep long-term browsing organised
Who it is for
- Multi-project knowledge workers
- Researchers juggling sources
- Users frustrated by tab chaos
What to watch out for
- Switching browsers means migrating profiles, extensions and habits; the switching cost is real
- AI features send content through services; review the privacy policy
- The novel interface has a learning curve; some users bounce off it
- Product direction has changed over time; check current platform support
