Airc - Arc shuts down Dec 22th - I built an open source version
by•
Arc is shutting down next month, since it is "too hard to maintain" a wrapper around Chromium. I'll have my agents build & maintain it, open source.
This is not a half working Chrome extension, but a full browser replacement. It's free, open-source that works the way you are used to. Same sidebar, same Spaces, same ⌘T, multiple chrome profiles.

I am an Arc user, Atlassian is shutting down Arc on Dec 22th. I've tried to switch to Chrome, using the Arc style extensions, but I am always missing smth, especially multiple Chrome profiles. So i figured it can't be that hard to just build an Arc alternative these days.
So 2 days I let my agents loose. Woke up to my mac flickering with 100s of tests running on the new browser. I knew I was onto something. A bit of polish later I am ready to release. It's already my default browser now.
I am sure there are a bunch of missing features or bugs. Pls report them or tell your clanker to do a pull request.
Thanks.
PS: my plan. simple. I want a browser that fits my need, agents will maintain security updates and auto publish new versions.
