    Can you tell me the appeal of Arc? I have it, and I’ve used it, but I just can’t seem to “get it”.

      I use it at work and it’s simplified a lot of things. On Mac I use different desktop spaces for different apps. So it put a lot of my apps onto one screen instead of 3. I put Spotify, my project management software, and my browser on one screen. So it simplified my workflow in that way.

      I also like the different spaces that you can setup. So I have one space for general work tabs, stock imagery websites, and then inspiration websites. All while keeping my 6 most used websites at the top. So really I like how it’s rearranged my bookmarks. Also a fan of its Split View management. I know I could just drag a tab out in chrome or whatever. But this will automatically size them nicely.

      Overall I could see it not being very useful if you just use a browser for checking email or one or two sites. But it excels at managing a lot of tabs.

      Edit: One last thing I love is the auto tab delete after 12 hours (you can change the time or turn it off). I love being able to just spam tabs and come back the next day and have it all clean and fresh.
