Just switched to arc on windows. It’s really buggy but I wanted to still give it a chance because it feels really nice when it does what it should. I hoped it will get better over time. Still hope so but I don’t believe anymore…

I really like the vertical tabs, the split profiles, the quick notes and the mini windows for links from other applications. If there is a prior product with all these features I’d love to try it. Please send a link.

All of those are problems which extensions already mostly solve. Firefox has tree style tabs, sideberry and tabstash. You can hide the horizontal tab bar with css. You can create multiple profiles in Firefox, and you can open separate isolated windows for each. Notes depend on your chosen software, but simple browser-only extensions exist. I don’t care about mini windows; that is a non-issue already solved with tab mgmt keyboard shortcuts.
What I’m reading here is that it is new for a browser to offer all those features. You’d need to do a bunch of customisation to reach a similar result otherwise. It’s fine that people don’t care about it, but that doesn’t make it less new.
Firefox has all those things already (albeit vertical tabs are experimental still). Just without the AI marketing and the built-in identity theft.
