One of the Best Chrome Alternatives Is Dead, but You Have Other Options
1 min read
Summary
The Browser Company is abandoning its alternative web browser Arc, which had aimed to take on the dominance of Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
While it had gained popularity with many users, it was too different and offered too many new things for relatively little reward, and thus failed to capture a substantial portion of the market.
It will now only offer security updates and major bug fixes for the browser.
However, The Browser Company is preparing to release Dia, a new browser which it hopes will be more successful.
Alternatives for users of Arc include well-known browsers such as Chrome or Edge, or other privacy-focused browsers like Brave, DuckDuckGo and Vivaldi.
With Zen Browser – based on Firefox – users of Arc will find a similar layout and range of features.
It is still in beta mode, but it is also available on macOS and Linux.
