Everything about the Arc browser is 100% what Safari and Edge combined would like to be. I could heavily see Microsoft taking some features from the arc browser and bringing them to Edge, like the vertical tabs sidebar. I also see a resemblance to safari a lot. The sidebar is what MacOS has been doing since big sure, and I think arc brings it to mac better than safari does. Arc feels more first-party than Safari does in some accepts.

@geoken2 Жыл бұрын

Except Edge had side tabs for years, but the implementation is better IMO. Whenever you see people demo arc, they’re using some blog or something with a tiny amount of content in the middle of the screen and tons of white space. But when I use arc with gmail or teams or whatever - it’s obvious that for the webapps we use the most - tons of wasted space one the sides isn’t the norm.

@azkanand5832 Жыл бұрын

One feature i discovered today when moving around the video miniplayer is that if you use a trackpad, move the mouse over to the miniplayer, then place a second finger on the trackpad and you’ll be able to easily move around the video like that as well. You can also pinch to increase/decrease the size of the video. Edit: just wanted to add that I have now stopped using Arc completely. It was fun to use, but the constant crashes every time I tried to access my passwords on the browser pushed me away. Until they fix it, I’m sticking with safari and icloud keychain

@@prodbyruphus Manifest v3 is an update to the way browser extensions work. Google's implementation of Manifest v3 severely limits the ability for ad blockers to work, and all browsers based on the Chromium code will be hit as well. Since Google will also be enforcing these rules on their Web Store, it is unclear how other Chromium-based offerings will be able to deal with this. The only other established extensions store is Firefox Add-ons, which currently only targets the Firefox browser, and Apple's App Store, where WebExtensions are already somewhat limited.
