Apparently the browser Arc is dead.
Well not dead, but discontinued in favour of a new AI centric browser called Dia. I remain unconvinced.
I made Arc my primary browser a couple of months ago. Safari was my main for quite some time almost by default. Chrome for some tasks, Firefox mainly for dev.
What I like about Arc is the side-bar of tabs. Even if I wish I could have it on the right rather than left. It makes in painful to use with the Mac dock when I am in laptop mode, if you must know.
Spaces are also great. I have one for Dev, another for news and socials.
It has some annoyances. I wish that pinned tabs would revert back to their origin after a certain time. I wish there was an iOS version so I could sync. But otherwise, pretty happy.
Given that even now, there is an update waiting to apply, my perception is that it’s not quite lifeless.
Nonetheless, I am open to options again.
Back in the day, I used to avidly follow a site called browserwatch. Which at one point would have daily updates on the latest browser advances. Now, I can’t even find an archive link to it.
It does seem like Chrome has won. I don’t think the space has stagnated completely. There are promising rumours.
Most likely I will migrate to Zen, and hope that its Firefox core doesn’t fall too far behind.
