The excellent Arc browser is now available for anyone to download

The Verge: “Arc, the Mac and iOS browser from The Browser Company, is finally ditching its waitlist. The company has been testing the app for more than two years and has, until now, made every interested user sign up for a waitlist. But now, it’s launching for real. Arc’s version number just jumped to 1.0, and anyone who wants to use Arc can go to arc.net and get the browser. We’ve covered Arc a lot in recent months, both because it’s a good browser and because it’s a big new idea about how you use the internet. The Browser Company’s ultimate plan is to build “the operating system for the internet.” Arc isn’t just a place to see webpages; it has tools for taking notes, making visual and collaborative easels with others, redesigning webpages to your liking, and more. (Personally, I love Arc’s picture-in-picture mode above everything else, especially now that it works with Google Meet calls.) Arc 1.0 doesn’t seem to come with any splashy new features. Rather, The Browser Company seems to just feel like it’s ready to launch more widely.””
