Artificial scarcity as a marketing strategy is as ancient as water, definitely not a secret. Experiencing FOMO over a web browser is goofy as all hell though.
Google tried that tactic with it's facebook like social network and look how that went lol
As a person who uses Arc, I promote it for free because it simply works better than any other software 🙂
In fairness, Google is cursed...@@The8merp
@@mykolaputko "works better than any other software" is a ridiculous thing to say about any software.
@@classicmax1 no it's not. but in this case it's ridiculous.
I must work in a totally different tech industry. This is the first time I've heard of Arc. There's a lot of features here that remind me of Edge to be honest.
Well you see it's vewy exclusive club for vewy exclusive nerds. Please don't shove me back into the locker where I rightfully belong
the moment split screen came up, i also thought of edge lol
I've only heard of arc when I researched different kinds of browsers tbh
@@pettycrimesandmisdemeanors So it's just like Arch Linux. I guess it's meta to use Arc in Arch, super nerds.
@@mycelia_ow actually they're (by their own admission) very far away from releasing Arc on Linux :D
Artificial scarcity is a dark pattern.
Absolutely no one: arc

Seems like an undisclosed advertisement to me. Vivaldi has had these features for years.
I use vivaldi on windows and it does most of what I like from arc, but it's a lot less clean. It still occupies far too much vertical real estate unless there are some settings I have not yet found.
@@punintendeddhide the address bar? I love how much space you can get in vivaldi
@@punintendedd i customize vivaldi until the browser just consist of strip of tab icon at the left and the address bar that's so small. All the website i use looks like native app in PC now.
good marketing over the ideas that exist for years.
Exactly. And you can easily customize Vivaldi even more...
Yeah I uninstalled when I was presented with a mandatory login screen.
What's the logic in this, you do know the site you are on also requires a login, atleast to be able to use the basic features?
@@irtizababar2203 sure, but why should a browser need that info right off the bat? I havent seen even a single browser that requires one to log in mandatorily before they are even allowed to use it. So why should I not hold arc to that standard?
@@irtizababar2203TH-cam is supposed to remember my subs/watch later/history and let me post comments. Arc is supposed to let me browse the web so what do I need an account for?
the device you are watching this on requires a sign in
@@esachs3 nonit doesnt
"... everyone is obsessed" i would like to hear who is that "everyone" you're referring to.
nobody.
nobody 😂😂 the discord is dead
Upmarket Mac users, darling.
If y'all were in these circles you'd also feel "everyone" was using it.
This video is more a pitch to BCNY than something that informs me about the psychology of the product. Good to know about it, Arc is in my radar now, but the video does nothing to explain to me why it has been considered better.
the different GUI is why it is "considered better". My man it's just a web browser, it won't download more RAM for your PC or walk the dog for you
It is both in a way. The key takeaway of the psychology of arc is how they reinvented the basics of how a browser work instead of building on top of industry-standard foundations and that's the killer part (plus all the growth stuff like the invite system). For sure I also peppered in some suggestions and things I wish they improve, they are very active on socials and communities so I definitely do hope they see this video! Anyways, thanks for the constructive feedback 🖖🏻

Never heard of this browser ever before
Feels like a product the mac using hipsters would love, but everyone else would just say "huh, neat." and go back to whatever they were using before.
migration curve is really hard
Mac hipsters don't love it either. It's just pointless random widgets stuck on top of Chrome stealing data, what's the point?
@@zacanger btw, vertical tabs are so great in arc)
@deletechannel vertical tabs exist in every other browser either directly like in Vivaldi or as a plugin like Tree Tabs in FireFox, it's a ancient concept
@@zacanger The vertical tabs are great (imo), and the workplace integration is actually a gamechanger for me. Being able to toggle between personal/work1/work2 profiles without having to fumble through a bunch of different windows as with Chrome got me instantly hooked.

firefox is good enough we don't need this "better" browser shenanigans
FVCK Linux bro.
is this an ad?
yes
No Windows version, no Linux version, no Android version; but everyone is obsessed with the Arc Browser. Bubble up, folks.
They also email download link, I mean if it's that private why it wants my email address?
there is a windows version of arc
and I'm using it rn.
@@ToxiEpic 5 months ago, when i wrote the comment above, there was no windows version. The one in existence right now is still in beta.
But you knew that, right.
Imagine ditching Brave for a browser that requires you to create an account just to open it, and that "archives" everything instead of closing or deleting it, and which will definitely "never sell your data" in the future.
It sounds ridiculous, but this has already become the norm for so many things. Even your printer probably requires a login and companion app etc.. It's insane.
@kodaxmax which is why I bought a cheapish laserjet from Canon. Plug in to power, sign in to wifi, done. It's made for an office but at least I'm not paying with my soul
I wouldnt necessarily say that brave is a better option knowing what they have done in the past. idk if theres any browser I trust these days
@@SkyrozzB
What have they done so bad??
@@Gaxi2 for example the affiliate link "scandal" they had some time ago. Also if I remember correclty, braves ceo had to leave mozilla because of his views and I believe he made some comments about covid as well. Brave is by no means a bad browser because of that stuff imo but it's not really better than every other browser either (except maybe chrome)
Ads getting creative. you dont even know you are watching a ad.
This browser promotes the kind of web that stands in direct opposition to all of my beliefs of what the web should be.
And what are those beliefs?
That the web should consist of many small web pages, primarily built with pure html/css, and have as little web apps as possible, and zero corporate monoliths akin to facebook, twitter, google etc. @@Action2me
@@Action2me
arc promotes:
- corporate web
- data-hogging (need an account to use the browser, tabs are archived not closed)
- web apps
- a closed source ecosystem
- growth over profits
- artificial scarcity
- putting ai unnecessary places???
last 3 are especially suspicious
it's made to quickly become an industry standard and eventually make profit with lower expectations, usually by selling data
pls beware of any AI startup with multi-million yearly losses
@@Action2me everything that is not releated to this 'browser' arc
Keep using Internet Explorer then you oldhead
You missed one thing, the Browser Company is not 100% based in NY, they're very remote aswell
Thousands of videos such as this one and key developers having the right contacts for magazine and media coverage might be the key to success 🤩 If I must have space I'll just hit F11 for full screen. I keep things basic. The extra features have been around for some time via extensions in other browsers. Vertical bookmarks which most browsers can do may be enough for some too to lessen the space used at the top of a screen. More features incorporated by default is a nice idea, but I think in the long run the browser will be analysed most in relation to security.
I tried to turn firefox into arc and it was an aweful experience
You can just use a vertical monitor for more vertical reading space. Vertical bookmarks won't work well with a 9:16 aspect ratio. It's a neat feature, but it's definitely not an attractive one for me since I use a vertical monitor.
@@Unicarn5279 doesn't that make the problem even worse for horozontal tabs? plus there's a keyboard shortcut for hiding/showing the vertical tabs, I feel like they'd work even better with a vertical aspect ratio?
(vertical tabs aren't about getting more vertical space, they're about being able to read more tabs at once instead of having to have another scroll bar at the top of your browser)
@@NKCubed No, because then whatever page I am on is obstructed, since most modern web pages are designed for 1080x1920 when you switch to portrait mode. I removed the taskbar from my vertical monitor (I use a vertical taskbar) to avoid this issue, and this browser would re-introduce it.
Using Firefox, I have no issues with reading my tabs until I have about 20 tabs open, but once I am at that point I just use the scroll wheel to scroll through them.
a proprietary browser? what tech industry is this? the cell phone review industry?
exactly. if i see a proprietary browser i look the other way. no way in hell i am using that. fuk even chromium is open-source. but firefox all the way
@@siliconhawk9293100%
@@siliconhawk9293 I absolutely hate the vertical tabs but Arc has a few features that are amazing
I tried, and didn't like it. The non negotiable placement of tabs on the left side of the screen alone turned me off. I use Vivaldi now, and like it much better.
It's proprietary. And you said it's not selling data. If the piece of software is not open source, you cannot know if the thing sells you data. You must know that, especially if you're a tech channel!
I'm happy with my old good friend Firefox, it's best for me.
can't wait for the open source community to learn all the lessons from it and implement a FOSS alternative xD

@@gravity00xsidebery too!
Every other year there feels like there's a surge of people *swearing* the next big browser is here. "It must be! Dozens are using it!"
Arc is the biggest marketing gimmick ever.
average mac/iphone user brain
> new browser!!!!
> *look inside*
> it's google chrome again
Cause people like something that works more than new, all extensions are made for chrome so they just used chrome
@vichow firefox has just as many if not more extensions 😭 but that's besides the point; the point is: it would be nice if someone for once actually made a browser and not a chrome reskin
@@kamaravichow All really good extensions only works with Firefox. Especially now because of Manifest v3.
Having a Blink engine from the Chromium project doesn't equal with being the same browser. People fucking need to understand this one thing!
@@roberttranceedm my point still stands: it would be nice if someone for once actually made a new browser and not just a reskin of something else. Using the same 2 engines basically creates a duopoly. Honestly the more engines/browser and the more fragmented the market share is the better!
My tech friend loves it, so I tried it, but I hate vertical tabs. I just can’t get used to them. Also, no arc for windows…I switch platforms multiple times a day. So it was back to Firefox for me.
Tried vertical tabs years ago in Firefox, again with Vivaldi, sticking with Firefox now without the vertical tabs.
you must be very stupid to hate vertical tabs
Same here. I wanted to love arc and be the cool guy around. But the performance was just horrible. The fans would spin up most of the time and it was resource hungry. Sticking to Firefox.
@@tamalchakraborty5346Ah, important to know that it’s a resource pig. I’ve been using Chrome even though I hate Google and having all my data hoovered up, but use a variety of plugins that I haven’t found on other browsers; it’s plugin ecosystem is huge. That said, it’s also a resource pig and I sometimes have to hunt down pages that are eating loads of CPU.
I wish that plug-ins could be universal somehow.
I use several browsers, switching from time to time. Vertical tabs is one of the most powerful productivity features IMO and pretty indispensable. Available on Edge and Vivaldi by default. It's great if you always use the browser maximized or full screen. Edge displays them better than Vivaldi IMO.
It makes sense coz most sites limit the content of the page to specific widths and the sides of the page remain empty when the window is wide, vert tabs let the content stretch up higher. Responsive sites also handle making the sides narrower better than making the window shorter.
Together with a sidebar to pin webapps most browsers can function close to Arc already. I just like the idea of diff work spaces built-in & a more customizable sidebar
let me get this completely clear, nobody is "ditching chrome" in fact arc browser is based on chromium, which is just chrome.
ditching chrome for chrome with sprinkles on it.
You can ditch Chrome if you switch to Firefox. Most of the rest are really Chrome in a disguise.
Aren’t most browsers free? Opera, chrome, Firefox, edge, safari?
But they sell data aswell
@@HaseebHeaven Arc is closed source, so they probably sell your data too. If you don't want that use degoogled chromium or Firefox.
@@HaseebHeaven Pretty sure google can track you no matter which browser you switch to.
@@HaseebHeaven Ya, but that's the open secret, for however you feel about it. That said though, would you trust a company pushing a product where you spend most your time with, that has no viable way of making money?
No linux version means it is basically doomed if they want to break into the tech industry
I use Vivaldi and Firefox. No intention of leaving any time soon.
Below this video youtube recommended me "Arc Browser is a joke" from Chris Titus
the irony of life
The vertical tab thing is cool but it takes WAY more space than a single top bar. So small window size for main content.
I cant get used to vertical tabs
I think it only works well on pretty high resolution monitors tbh. It feels great on my macbook pro screen but using arc on an external 1080 monitor the sidebar feels huge
Vertical space is much more valuable that horizontal space, so I like them
Loved the video. Haven’t tried it yet but I previously tried Sigma OS: really enjoyed but it was buggy so went back to chrome. Interesting to see what they come up with with the monetisation process 🎉
sigmaos is webkit based, while arc is chromium based so it's more stable
Why tf would someone name it sigma 💀
@@grissee Both Chromium's Blink engine and the Apple's WebKit are based on the KHTML engine.
Orion is also a nice browser, but it's more of an alternative to Safari than SigmaOS/Arc. Doesn't have a lot of features, but it's so efficient
@@Bernardoskau Sigma is a Greek letter.
"Product Manager in tech", so were you always an manager (like finished a type of management college) or did you "rise" from a Developer position into a Product Manager ?
That's basically everything that Vivaldi browser already does...
"Everyone?" I never heard about it, and no one talks about it in the tech community 🤷🏿♂. Anyway, this browser is super similar to Microsoft EDGE.
A lot of these features have been in other browsers at one point in time e.g. Opera did the vertical splits about 20 years ago.
Most of that stuff Opera did is in Vivaldi now.
It is a proprietary web browser, and it is free. There is no way they aren't taking some sort of user data they can sell!
selling users data is nothing new in the tech industry
@@danilol9417 Yeah, and it bothers me to no end.
The funny thing is, many browsers have been putting features from arc into their browsers. For example, brave got a sixebar that allows you to stick bookmarks, tabs, and mote in it, which is pretty much the same as arc.
Personally I will never use arc, or any arc features, all because I like having my tabs on the top of my screen. I know they get really squished when I have a bunch of tabs, but I also like having the websites centered, which they wouldn't be if I have a sidebar. I just can never get used to a sidebar in my browser, because I don't want to seel like I'm switching between different files in my code editor. One thing that I think desktop browsers really should have is a way to add scrolling to the tab bar. I mean, code editors that have tabs (vscode) make the tab bar scrollable, so it can show all the title of the tab. Plus, mobile browsers have had that since forever.
I use my arc Sidebar hidden. I can put my mouse on the left side of my screen to make it appear or press cmd + S. It works the same way as your code editor where you can just scroll through all tabs and you can drag and drop tabs to have them splitscreen
most of the features are already present in vivaldi long before arc was even a thing.
Free, but nothing is free. If something is free, chances are you are the product in some way. Even if its not data.
literally every web browser... what are you trying to say?
Have you heard of open source license?
@@user-di8kl4cc5u Ah, loicense, the literal pass that prevents anyone without one to use. Artificial scarcity is a value product. Yes, it stifles competition by disallowing the technology to enter into the competitive capitalist market, because those competitors would be monetizing it and actually funding their operations.
"Open" stuff is funded by the luxury of people working out of their basements who don't have to worry about banana economy, because all the food in the stores near their basement is secured by exploitation.
In "closed' economy all you need is the money to license it. In "open" economy, now were talking going to beg from the creator for a gentleman's promise, that you're in their little club of being ALLOWED to promote them by crediting and promoting them. It's a social credit pyramid scheme, and the MONEY has to come from YOUR pocket because inestors would compromise some vacuous integrity of your anti-capitalist cause.
@@CodexBS Safari is technically not free because you must buy a piece of hardware to run the app
@@user-di8kl4cc5u lol exactly what i was going to say
Artificial scarcity is fine for a hardware product, where scaling is difficult. For a software product, it makes no sense.
Not that I would ever touch a browser without extension support.
Not open source, earns it an automatic "I don't care".
Vivaldi seems like an actual cult. But unlike Arc, it's much more customizable, available for everything, and doesn't require an invite. The only problem is that it can be buggy sometimes.
I just got my Arc through Windows waiting list and this is literally the first thing I searched😂
I remember doing the vertical tab bar on the side in opera years ago and vivaldi can give you great control over the layout, placement, organization of your tabs and views too.
i was confused, like, vivaldi did this for almost a decade now and nobody cared?!??
Dang, when I saw the thumbnail at the top of my subscription feed I thought it was a browser company video for a sec. 😅
Ya.... The instinct to not trust what appears to be a trap is flaring up pretty high right now. a NY based 'browser company' that is using a invite system & is building a cult like community, for a browser and in a clip mentions boost for monetization, while also using AI summaries for web pages (which is to say google got flack for topic summarization, and this one is going to cut out the need for going to a site all together).
Ya, not only does the 'boosts' as possible monetization bother me, but the fact that AI tooling is baked so deeply into the browser that you'd have to be crazy to not think the tooling set would be able to look sideways and see your history.
This is on top of the in group, thing and quite honestly an instant dislike for 'artificial scarcity', as that's only ever done harm to anything that's not a game, and even then, it's a lie in most games.
Ya, I don't think another NY startup that's some how 'reinventing' some core thing, and proposing to do it for free with no reasonable map of sustainability is a good thing. Seriously, it's really damn'd easy to just flip that switch, and if I had to be honest I could just default to MS Edge without a second though. Does MS get my data.. ya, but I will never have to worry about MS panicing and suddenly fliping the Product (edge) around trying to make a profit ... off of you searching the web. This will happen, arc will change and I can't think of one valid reason to switch from Edge to arc, and that's assuming I had an invite code right now or immediate access to it.
You mean the same tech space that is used to push trends and shape what the narrative is around products?.. Ya this will backfire.
Really great video. Love the focus on business plan / market fit.
If the product are free, you are the product...
I still use Mozilla Firefox
Firefox is so much better than all of these, but isn't as flashy or sexy as other browsers.
Does anyone remember when they were just starting to put out marketing content? The initial vision was that of a browser that was supposed to be a huge canvas where you could put anything and open website windows all over the place. It was a cool idea, but they must have realised pretty quickly it was kind of an impossible thing to do and switched to something a bit more down to earth.
whether this was intended as an ad or not, man, you _really_ edited this in such a way that it comes off strongly as an advertisement.
thats because it IS an advertisement. he took money for this without disclosing it. the script lists all those bullet points, that are insincere at best, because almost everything is already available in different kinds of browsers, like vivaldi or chrome. they just made a script that make it seem like they re-invented the wheel.
Just learned about Arc browser recently, and boy am I never going back to Chrome
Wow. Wow. This browser is just wow. It really feels insane on Mac machine. Not sure about the other. Thank you!

Good intro, good comparative style !
I'm subscribed !
I know exactly how they gonna make money...they want to create as cool browser as possible, and then Google/Apple/Microsoft make an undeniable offer and acquire them. So they'll got the money, and we'll got all the features of Arc in Chrome but with our data being sold. And that's it. It happens all the time.
I know I sound like some boring dude on a fun party, but it doesn't look to me like a new standard of browsing the internet or something like that. This is still a Chromium browser under the hood, which means that everything works as usual, because this is how the Web was designed and continue to develop - you need everyone use same standards and don't break anything. Otherwise most websites would require specific browser versions to operate. So called, operational system for the Web means nothing more then visual design of the Arc application. In terms of real OS, like MacOS and Windows, any browser is just another application, which means its functionality is limited and can't expand beyond a set of actions that OS provides and allows to do.
As far, as I understand, what Arc tries to do it to blend it's interface with the interface of an OS system it runs on. But this is still a regular application, not an "operational system".
with Chrome/Edge i get random heating to 80c+ on m1 for no reason (once in 1-2 days), but not in Arc which surprise me. UX feels more unified, every week updates, UI better for me, new features regularly.
Yes, you can do a lot in other browsers with apps, but when everything works well out of the box, the experience is much better.
Using Arc for a year and will pay $5-10/month for using it in future.
@@staskozak8118bro, you never heard of Vivaldi Browser?
"only mac is supported" so by tech people you mean apple drones? yikes
There is a version of arc on windows but you need to be in the waitlist
As of now I am using arc on windows as it loads sites faster than brave and does not crash like chrome on my windows pc (i3 6th gen, 4 gb ddr4 ram, 512gb hdd and windows 11 pro)
as the person above me said, they are working on a windows version (which is invite only for now), but it's pretty close to being fully finished as of writing this
Arc is just a discount version of the Sidekick Browser. Literally, same thing with less features.
Tried both, now writing this on Arc. It just feels a lot smoother, polished and less cluttered product compared to Sidekick. And ofc it's free, for now at least... But time will tell if I'll go back to Firefox eventually. The learning curve isn't that bad but it's just the rewiring of the damn brain that takes effort, perhaps too much. 😅
Tried Arc for a couple months. It felt a bit... cluncky? Apart from that, its difficult to figure out where exactly stuff is. Like, where are my extentions?
Hover on the url bar and click the icon on the right
The moment I heard they moved tabs to the side I got convinced already. I do that with my taskbar in Windows too, so good
Can you convience me to switch from Opera?
Extensions? Linux support?
I tried Arc for a few months and it really didn't do anything special for me. I ended up switching to Brave. I use multiple browsers: Chrome for personal email and TH-cam, Brave for work, and Firefox for most everything else. I also occasionally use Safari, Chrome Canary, LibreWolf, and Firefox Developer Edition for specialized scenarios.
Your about to reach 100k!
Honestly, I've been watching few of these features in Microsoft edge for a while now. I don't even like these features in edge itself. Guess I'm growing old now... 👴🏼
Dude, 0:05 well I'm also working in tech and in my bubble NOBODY is talking about this!! I just see it every now and then on some tech website and it reeks of hype grind. But I'm curious... Maybe I'm mind blown after this video? I'll let you know :)
OK I'm still underwhelmed.
not surprised @@ewerybody
I am surprised you didn't mention a team/business pricing tier. Similar to how slack followed a product led growth plan with invites and spreading in the tech workspace, Arc can also become the defacto collaborative browser that propels teams forward. You can already see how they might be placing the easel feature in the center with collaboration as their strong suite.
This is me but with vivaldi
Sorry, I don't think anything can pull me away from Vivaldi. The level of customizability is unparalleled. Plus, mouse gestures are great.
6:46 "called 'the browser company', cool name, btw" my thoughts exactly, simple, but it sounds nice!
That Mr. bean finger touch was out of nowhere😂😂😂paired with the windows sound was epic
I use and love the built in Samsung browser. I've tried all of them basically. I like some others (really picky) but fine back to this one. It's really good. S10+
i need both a mobile and a windows version, and bookmark sync between them
and having adblock and other addons thanks to firefox is a way better feature set than any other current browser
arc doesn’t offer bookmarks at all 😅 use raindrop or something they say
@@deletedchanneI that is why I say I use and probably will stick to Firefox
I really deeply want two functions out of a mobile browser. Firstly a scroll bar that shows a miniature preview of the ENTIRE page INSIDE the grey area of the scroll bar. And a thumbnail of the visible part outlined as the scroll slider. For comparison see the preview while hovering on the timeline of a TH-cam video.
Secondly, I want a function to retain that as the only visual of the page, while all the elements and links are made into a text-based summary. So you can have a clear side-by-side view of everything that is clickable on the page. For comparison, imagine if you could just view youube in that preview thumbnail, but the video box would be changed to comments and notes timestamped on the video.
In short, reduce EVERYTHING on a page as "do not load images" function, but still have this little thumbnail of everything that would be visible, and visually formatted.
@@sboinkthelegday3892 something really special and non-popular
arc does offer bookmarks, bookmark folders, and you can even bookmark two split screen websites as a single bookmark so when you open it, both open (he shows this in the video at 3:31 ). A bookmark folder called “YT” is also shown in that time stamp.
There's not even a waitlist for Linux. Feels like developers are not the target group.
I have never heard of Arc and I consider my self tech-savvy
mm I managed to get Arc like a year ago by giving them three of my friend's school emails, only to realize it was for Mac only (for now)
I've literally never heard of 'Arc Browser'. Clickbait.
(do they send also free Arc-PCs?)
there is no 32-bit version, for Linux
there's pretty much no linux version at all, and the windows version is invite only as of now
Was the "Browser for Academic Research" just a joke, or that really exists? Because it would be fascinating to try!
Not an academic researcher myself but I'd suggest Vivaldi for that... the most customizable and best bookmark management browser by far imo
For me, that's Arc, lol. I'm not willing to switch to it completely since it isn't open source, but it's a great browser for doing research.

I used to use it, waiting for a windows release
Think it is only available for Mac OS at present.
the amount of times he said "well f^^k this" describes apple perfectly when they decided to make the new ipad pro thinner 💀💀
most reviewers forget the super power that chrome has even if sometimes it’s laggy on some computer; Eco system, sync…I mean I can install chrome on another machine and all my stuff is there, from bookmarks, extensions I mean…
That's how Opera is for me.
I wanted it to replace Chrome for me, but unfortunately on 13” MBA it’s not convenient to use it with its left pane. My content is never centered so it may make sense on larger screens, but not 13” MacBook 😢
you can hide the left panel so that it’s full screen on the website you’re on, and then if you drag the mouse to the left, the panel appears
@@_majoneez I still like the top bar better.
