He arrived! Arc Browser is now available for Mac and iOS; know more

"The news arrived that the world did not believe"! Jokes and memes aside, after two years of research, testing, and programming changes, The Browser Company released its Arc browser.

It is available for public download for anyone who wants it. And it's available for both Mac and iOS - at least for a while.

What makes the Arc different?

We think you might be wondering why you would leave your Google Chrome or Safari to use Arc. We've already talked about the reasons why you don't use Google's browser – read on here – but we will give you some details about this news.

Arc does a little more than just show you sites. It has tools for taking notes, there is the possibility of creating visual easels – including collaboratively – and redesigning web pages.

Plus, it natively offers picture-in-picture mode. So you can keep working and watching a video at the same time.

And is it worth it?

According to the website Tudo Celular, Arc appears to be more of a companion app than a full browser. Still according to the publication, the browser does not have any flashy features.

However, the writers pointed out that it has an innovative and fully customizable tab arrangement. This might catch the attention of users and in doing so, he might gain some fans.

Personalization is also Arc's biggest draw. According to Canaltech, social networks freaked out about the software precisely because of its customization and versatility.

This portal saw it as a great asset that you were in control of your own web experience using the browser. And the best: in an easy and intuitive way, without having to have programming knowledge.

To get an idea, it is possible to adjust practically all the appearance and interface of the sites. You can define colors, fonts and even crop entire sections.

When does it come to Windows?

The prediction is that the Arc will reach the Windows at the end of this year. Interested parties can now sign up for a waiting list available on the browser's official website.
