Arc Browser

Arc Browser is a contemporary web browser developed to rethink how users interact with the internet. Launched to the public in recent years, it distinguishes itself from traditional browsers like Chrome or Safari by utilizing a sidebar-oriented interface, 'Spaces' for task organization, and built-in productivity tools like Easels and Notes. It is built on the Chromium engine, ensuring compatibility with most modern web extensions while providing a unique user experience layer.

The browser was created by The Browser Company of New York, a startup comprised of industry veterans from companies like Instagram, Tesla, and Medium. Since its inception, the brand has focused on a 'software as an instrument' philosophy, aiming to reduce the friction of digital workflows. While the core development and engineering take place in the United States, the browser is distributed globally via digital platforms.

Ownership remains with The Browser Company of New York, which is backed by significant venture capital investment from firms like Founders Fund and individuals in the tech industry. As of 2026, it remains an independent entity focused on expanding its ecosystem across macOS, Windows, and mobile platforms.
