The Arc browser arrives on Windows to take on Chrome and Edge

The innovative Arc browser, previously available on macOS and iOS, has now launched on Windows. This browser offers a unique user interface with a collapsible sidebar for tabs and bookmarks, a command bar, and various tools aimed at enhancing web navigation. The Browser Company, creators of Arc, intend for it to be a comprehensive platform, labeling it as an "operating system for the internet."

Arc on Windows utilizes Swift, a programming language developed by Apple, marking a significant development in cross-platform software engineering. This release could inspire more memory-safe applications, aligning with recent governmental guidance. Despite the competition from established browsers like Chrome and Edge, The Browser Company is updating Arc weekly, aiming to match the feature set of its macOS counterpart while maintaining a distinct Windows feel.
