Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I am Yevhen and I created this browser because I wanted to have a customizable version of Arc. And now Arc is set to stop working on December 22.
So Stedding is an open-source alternative that works the way Arc did, built on Chromium, for macOS and Windows. Linux builds are coming soon.
What you’ll find:
Vertical tabs in a sidebar, essentials, pinned tabs that remember their pages, nested folders
Spaces with their own colours, and if you want, their own cookies: one site signed in as two accounts
⌘T for any URL, search or open tab in any Space; split view by dragging a tab onto the page
Peek at links from pinned tabs
The address bar on top, or the address in the sidebar" → "The address bar at the top, or in the sidebar
Cross-platform sync using any folder on your machine (Google Drive, iCloud, Dropbox, etc.)
Custom colours and the ability to choose them for both light and dark modes
One-click import from Arc (Spaces, pins, folders, history, passwords), and from Chrome, Edge, Brave and Vivaldi
What’s different from Arc: the code is public (BSD-3-Clause), there is no account, the sidebar syncs between computers through a folder you already sync, and there is no AI in the browser. Not there yet: a phone app, and support for Netflix and other DRM-protected video.
It’s a beta, made by one person, updated every few days. I’d like to hear what’s missing for you to switch, your experiences and ideas, and what breaks.
