The Arc internet browser is the latest from Browser company and takes the traditional browser window to new heights. Similar to other moden apps, the Arc browser puts all of the settings to the sidebar and allows users to create spaces that are able to focus in on a certain task. Notably, Arc does not have a bookmarking system like original browsers, but it differentiates itself with elements including its new Boost feature.
It allows users to take over any sites that they visit to add a touch of customized capabilities. Product designer Nate Parrott explains that “If you’re the kind of person who likes to tinker with things or a person who makes websites, you probably have all the technical skills to make a Chrome extension, like JavaScript and CSS and HTML, and yet nobody makes them because it's just really hard.” Boost 2.0 makes the process much more seamless.
