In 2022, Mac users enjoyed the privilege of using a new alternative Chromium-based web browser called the Arc Browser. It left a huge impression to many people with its innovative features and seamless design, leaving your browsing experience less cluttered.
Now, The Browser Company, the company responsible for Arc, is expanding the horizons of their browser. After 6 months of beta testing, the Arc Browser is now ready to make its home in Windows 11 computers.
Why Use Arc Browser in Windows 11?
With its introduction to Windows users, the question remains, how is Arc browser different from existing browsers like Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge?
Arc for Windows is built differently from other browsers, making it the first app to use Swift language on Windows. Swift is the programming language of Apple and is used to build iOS and Mac apps. However, the app will feel like a Windows app as it uses WinUI 3.0 framework to follow Windows 11 design language. It is complete with the Mica backdrop and Acrylic blur effect, matching the background with your desktop.
Other browsers like Edge and Chrome use the C++ language. Such a move may pave the way for other developers to travel down the road of integrating Swift language to build apps for Windows in the future.
Arc for Windows also comes with impressive features that will overhaul your browsing experience. Its notable feature includes a collapsible sidebar in place of the rows of tabs we are used to in browsers. This will allow you to remove clutter within your browser, so you can have a single website in front of you at any time.
Users will also love the idea of a split view, enabling them to see two tabs in one window. Spaces is a function that groups different tabs and bookmarks to various sidebar views. Then, there is Peek, a feature that allows you to view a link without opening it into a dedicated tab.
Using the Arc browser also gives the built-in touchscreen support and other customization tools to augment your browsing experience. It is also in sync with Arc Search.

Each week, Arc for Windows will continue to enhance its features so as to become at par with its macOS version. As of now, it is only available on Windows 11. Still, Windows 10 users may expect to access the browser soon.
