Meet Act II of Arc Browser | A browser that browses for you

On Thursday, February 1st @ 12.30pm ET we shared our vision for Act II of this journey we call Arc - a new category of software, a browser that browses for you.
We also introduced 4 new upcoming features that hint at our Act II:
02:00 Instant Links - Available Today
05:00 Arc Explore - Coming Soon
09:10 Arc Search (with Browse for Me) - Available Today in the app store
10:58 Live Folder Beta - Available Feb 15
➡️ Get Arc: arc.net
🛠️Tell us what Live Folder integrations we should build first!? browserco.type...
We couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead.
And, above all, thank you. Because we wouldn’t be here without you.

Respect to arc for changing the web. Use it as a daily drive on my MacBook now 👍

[@rushabhchheda2582]

They should have launched on win and mac at the same time. That way it would have actually change the web and would have been much more beneficial to me who uses, Mac for personal and Windows and Linux for work

@@rushabhchheda2582 their target audience mainly uses MacOS and delaying the launch for so long, just so they can make it for windows from the beginning on, wouldn't have made sense. They did everything right. If you're mad about it, get a mac. It's better in every aspect.

1. The editing and camera work are continuously doing their biggest one. 2. The presentation styles are the coolest. 3. The infamous launch screen making a comeback- I've been using Arc for over a year now and even in earlier iterations, you can really tell that user experience is at the forefront of every new addition. A lot of people can attempt to reinvent the way we browse the internet or anything for that matter, but the approach you guys have feels so natural. You guys are killing it.

[@atmosblack4366]

After Apple you have become my most favorite tech company. I really love you guys. As I marketer I adore your style. From a consumer perspective, you are doing everything right. Here comes the BUT.... content creators, companies and businesses will hate you, if you take their content and never send them to their sites. Google will make your life hell, because you are basically ruining their ad business. I'm not sure, if this is a wise move to have basically the whole business side of the internet as your enemies. Did you think about that? I mean, they were already complaining with LLMs "where are the sources???"

[@WolfHeathen]

It shows. This is about as innovative as Apple's been post 2007, which is none whatsoever. For those who know how to use your average browser this doesn't change a thing. Just click your bookmarks and search for what you want. Takes about as long as it does for Arc to search it for you. Just like with Apple's products, this is overhyped.

[@TammiLColesinGermany]

There are already tools and extensions that do some of that. And companies have found ways to fit their content to developments in browsers, sometimes for better or worse. They will be just fine.

[@yehaa00]

Average cringe ahh apple fans comment

[@divieee]

Some of what you said is true, but I think Arc really is something else than just another browser. Yes, it does take a lot of time to search now and you can probably do it yourself in the same amount of time, but I think it is going to get faster and easier with all the improvement in AI and other stuff involved in recent times. Also, bookmarks are another way to get directly to what you're looking for but you can't have a bookmark for every single youtube topic, can you? As for the fact that google will eat them, it is true. But if they get enough support I think they can sustain. @@WolfHeathen

[@egriff38]

I agree with @atmosblack4366. For digital interfaces, saying "no ads" is saying no revenue. Saying "no pop-ups" is saying no engagement. Saying "just what you need" means a no experimentation. The internet is not broken, it is fractured. The internet has not stopped innovating, it has calcified around hubs. What TBC is building will yield search power from major engines to themselves. If they want to go back to web 1, they need to find a way to dismantle those hubs without destroying the ecosystem.

[@blifix3396]

I never comment on any videos, ever, but to be honest, I freaking love you guys, you understand the problem, you come up with a solution, and you make it so seamless and easy to use while being responsive and good looking, you are the apple of the browser, that is for sure, I really just hope you don't run out of money, considering that I still don't know how you turn a profit, but hey, I am here for it no matter what, keep pushing the boundaries to the limit and keep being you.❤

[@eitangellis]

I’ve been using Arc Search on iPhone, and it’s done the opposite. I’ve clicked on the links to websites that the app brings for me. All it does is usually just summarize, so if I do want more information- I click on the link. All this does, from my view, is make webpages want to focus less on SEO and more on bringing you _relevant information._ Which I’m down for.

[@StuartGilbert]

I'm putting this prediction in public now: Arc Browser content will be ad-supported within 5 years.

[@nasharcadia]

If the future really is just AI browsing on our behalf… won’t that eradicate the incentive for uploading information to the internet? Why would I create a blog or a how to guide if no one is gonna look at it?

[@FBracht]

In the beginning of the internet, you had no expectation a lot of people would see anything you put online. Much less that you would earn ad revenue with it. And yet, people came together and created and shared stuff. People create and share information because it matters *to them*. This will always be true.

[@nasharcadia]

@@FBracht Yes sure there will be a passionate few but it is no where near the colossal scale that we rely on today, 99% of it is driven by some sort of incentive

[@dev.roysalazar]

So the browser is making the decision of what information is presented to you, that sounds like the perfect dystopia. I know search engines already do that, but this takes it to a whole different level.

[@lertadsupadhiloke3311]

As a convert, while I love the big idea you are going for, it does worry me a bit that a company refusing to talk about monetization is using its free model to break the internet’s and current content creator’s revenue channels. For this not to just lead to independent creators losing income to people no longer visiting their sites, would really like to see Arc’s vision on how the new business models will be for both them (so we can be confident Arc will be sustainable) and the internet content creator value chain (so we can be sure this is truly the future of the internet and not just a project that disregards and disrespects the current hard of work of independent creators and businesses).

[@bhavgala]

If this scales, have you considered if this impacts the revenue for the creators of the content you are selecting? Also, how will the incentive structure work so the content creators don’t block you from using their content, either programmatically or legally? Absolutely love the idea, but would love to see the long term revenue model to ensure this works, otherwise it feels like a feature that is super cool now, but will face roadblocks as it scales. Or is the plan to keep it niche?

Your recipe demo sold the concept for me. That is definitely a good example of the type of research that is super tedious and very low return for a lot of frustration. Having it all pulled together and organized with options is amazing! What I most want to see in your product is a focus on synthesizing accurate and useful material that helps the user actually learn and grow comprehension. This is in contrast with the main tech focus of “magic” results that “just work” but are often mistaken, generative falsehoods, and timesavers that are tuned to only bring you back constantly for more rather than actually helping you learn. Maybe that is what you’re attempting to do already, I don’t know, but I want to really hammer that user paradigm home, please and thank you.

[@wonmoreminute]

So you want ARC, which does not create any content or provide any valuable information to the web, to scrape other people’s content and hard work, present it to you on a platter, and get all of the credit for for making your life easier. As someone who has spent tens of thousands of dollars (and tens of thousands of hours) creating valuable content for the web, I can tell you that the talk among most content creators is to either quit completely, or just blast the web with thousands of AI written articles per day (which many are doing) because it’s no longer financial viable to produce properly researched original content. No recipe blogger is spending hours in their kitchen and hundreds of dollars on ingredients to test and refine recipes, not to mention, stage and take professional pictures so that AI powered browsers, search engines, and summarizers can scrape their content and regurgitate it directly to searchers who never visit their websites. Running a professional website is also not free. So if no one is visiting websites, there’s no reason to pay for hosting, maintenance, or the time it takes to update content, create new content, etc. There will be no reason for those websites to exist at all. There’s still hope it doesn’t come to that but in the groups I belong to (we all use the same handful of ad management networks for example), it seems every day more and more are coming to accept that it’s not worth it anymore.

I feel flattered as a Peruvian watching this from my Arc browser.

I am so glad I get to be a loyal user and follower of the Arc Browser since you guys came out in beta God what a fascinating future The Browser Company definitely has coming up. Keep it up TBC team, we're all rooting for you! 👨🏻‍💻🚀

Absolutely horrible. The only thing that can save the web is bringing back personal websites, not adding even more layers of abstraction on top of everything. What's next, browsers that think for you?

[@DileepaRanawake]

Very valid point. From a consumer perspective great. From a creator perspective, this is a company that creates a moat around other people’s work, monetises it, whilst meaning the original creator is not remunerated or even possibly known. The technologist in me is excited. The person who cares about people, concerned. I would love to know how arc plans to ensure creators are remunerated and recognised.

There are already things similar to "browsers that think for you." They facilitate doom scrolling and binge watching. I've known people who seem to spend the majority of their free time scrolling on TikTok, just "waiting for something cool to happen," in the words of some kid in The Incredibles. Then there are some folks who just put on Fox News and watch it all day long, allowing the hosts to think for them. The difference between those facilitators and Arc is that Arc at least tells you that it's browsing for you, where as the facilitators don't explicitly make the connection
