- I’ve been waiting to use Arc new browser by “ The Browser Company” for a while now!This is a different app review than what you’re used to, because I haven’t used Arc browser until now, so you’re getting a real first-time-user product review!
Arc is known to be the new and exiting browser that’ll give both Google Chrome an Apple’s Safari a good fight…Have you use Arc browser already? Let me know in the comments what you think, and if you want me to review more browsers (mmmm maybe Brave?)
As usual, please keep in mind these are only my opinions as a Product UX Designer. I'm one user out of millions and only express my professional yet personal opinions.
If you're a beginner UX designer, I highly encourage you to adopt critical thinking about apps, always think beyond the interface, and try to understand UX patterns and behaviors that make an app or a product good (or bad).
There are always pros and cons, and a good UX designer knows how to find inspiration even in terrible apps 😊

And I’m here for that 😍😍 (but don’t forget about UX haha)
Option Click on the Green Zoom button will open the window to a size that fits everything or fills the screen.
So it's the full screen mode most people would want rather than the full screen workspace if you normally click.
Arc is not a replacement for chrome. Arc IS chrome. Arc is chromium based, meaning Google still controls the core of the browser. The only replacement to Chrome is Firefox. Switch to Firefox, I promise you won't look back at any of the chromium browsers.
Yeah I did mention the search engine itself in this video, totally would want them to not use Google but all the other features are so worth it for me 🥰
Been using it on both my work and personal MacBook and I’m obsessed!
@@ItsUXgirl Chromium is an open-source web browser project, primarily developed and maintained by Google. It is the majority base code for Google Chrome and many other browsers, including Microsoft Edge and in this case, Arc. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but the base of it is the same as Google Chrome.
this is not how it works. google actually doesn't control a lot about chromium. just like android, chromium is open sourced. this means *we* control it.
@@4pocop it being open source means that we can SEE the code. That absolutely does not mean we control it. In order for something a random person added, it would have to be approved by the owner of the repository (Google). They are going to do whatever they want to do with it, because they own it.
Though since it's open source, anyone can take the base and make their own changes to it. That's why we have Edge, Opera, Brave, Arc, and a million other browsers. But if they want to maintain security updates, they're going to have to continue to update the core of their application as well, including whatever Google is doing to it. That's why Google was able to change the way browser extensions work to make ad blocking more difficult.
@@ItsUXgirlI think you misunderstand. I do not mean Google as a search engine, I mean Chromium as a browser base, which is owned by Google the company. Arc is not written from a blank slate, they use the Chromium browser engine base and make the changes to it from there. Basically any browser you can find or name is going to be Chromium based EXCEPT for Firefox. Firefox uses its own browser engine made independently from Google's Chromium. So that means any Chromium based browser is still controlled be Google at its core.
Just watched this video as a new arc user….. I go back and forth between chrome and arc.. but I like your presentation 😊…got yourself a new subscriber 🤞🏽✅💚
Thanks! I kept using Arc since this video and it’s SO SO much more than I saw in this first time review
Might have to do a quick update 👀
11:30 its dependent on whatever or not you click link inside a favourite tab or not.
Oh really? But I wasn’t inside a favorite tab the first time 🤔
I had the same reaction you had. I was really hyped and bought in the FOMO but quickly didn’t understand design choices they made. I ended up returning to Chrome. The mental gymnastics required wasn’t worth the pretty gradients😅
Oh wow I strongly encourage you to give it another go, cause I’m head over heels in love 😍😍 I fully migrated for both work and personal Macs and especially on iPhone I’m obsessed with the Arc Search!
it is still chromium based, not really a replacement, tho.
💯
Do you think they’ll ever have their own search engine? 👀👀
(I talked about it a bit in the video)
@@ItsUXgirlChromium based doesn’t refer to the search engine. It means the engine of the browser ( the thing that makes it work at its core; just like a cars engine ). This means that at heart the browser is chrome. So they do collect data on you and probably even sell it. The search engine is a whole different thing and not related to the engine.
@@americanpie3638 P.S. I use Vivaldi, also Chromium-based, but security and privacy conscience. So it does similar things to Chrome, but syncs to a Vivaldi server, encrypted, and does not touch Google unless you use Google services.
arc isnt a crome replacement, its based on chromium, which basically means its chrome with extra steps. firefox is the only chrome replacement (and its forks).
I love how so many ppl comment this, yet it’s literally the message they used in their official website.
I think you’re taking it a bit too technical, when the meaning is Chrome as a browser app
"Join the Windows Waitlist" LOL
They released the Windows beta! Did you try it? 👀👀
Trillions of people use the internet?
Matter of speech is a thing 🙃
oof
