MKBHD reviewed our Arc browser... (CEO reacts) 

I like this trend I think Nothing started, of CEOs being transparent and showing that they care about what the community is saying and how they get improve their products.

I switched over to Arc last year and haven't looked back. And, to be honest, I didn't really think it would be a game-changer like it is. Love it and look forward to the weekly updates and behind-the-scenes videos.

"Hope he doesn't have an android" That's probably my biggest pet peeve for app developers. 75% of the market is Android and some will essentially just treat it like that market doesn't exist. Negative points for that one.

frankly, as somebody who uses Arc for very similar ‘light user’ reasons to David, that awesome thing about Arc is that it feels like something that’s actually made for human beings lol. Hard to pitch to a very tech-centered crowd on that alone though.

the funny thing is, even the way they describe Arc makes it sound really awesome, and they barely scratch the surface of what it's actually capable of

I’m not joshing here; I’m moving to Arc due to this video. The CEO’s reactions are so genuine feeling and the fact it’s endorsed by MKBHD and his team without sponsorship is just icing on the cake. Excited to be using Arc!

Just got into arc. Doing the reaction video was genius. Just makes everything feel real.

Arc spaces + key board shortcuts + the COMMAND BAR (Cmd + T) = Top 3 Game Changing Features I actually look forward to opening up Arc and separate all my interests into separate spaces, dividing my tabs into its appropriate topic. My search experience definitely feels a lot smoother and more intuitive now🙌🏽

Hey Josh and the rest of the Arc team. I absolutely love Arc and am using it everywhere I go. I understand that with your Swift-everywhere approach, Android might be hard, but not having at least some way to sync my tabs over to Android affects me daily. Global mobile market share says that Android is the dominant mobile platform, so not having any support there will really constrain your growth. And the tension here will grow exponentially when you put out the Windows release

Just watched this video and instantly joined for the waitlist. I love how enthusiastic was this . I can definitely feel the excitement and love for what you do even from the screen. I am currently getting trained on CS, i hope some day our paths gets crossed.

This is so dope. We need more transparency like this. Imagine if Tim Cook or Craig Federighi reacted to tech reviews?

You guys deserve the attention you're getting, I've fully switched to Arc the day I downloaded it because of how innovative it is in comparison to something that was in complete stagnation, the browser. Beautiful work.

I came over from mkbhd’s podcast and wanted to see your reaction and at the same time add insights to what arc is. At this time I mainly have my daily tasks in my iPad Pro and would love to see or even beta test the Arc Browser for iPadOS. I have a windows laptop too but since the iPad Pro is more portable I put most of my tasks here instead of my laptop. Looking forward to trying this out!

I usually say this: It let you create different spaces with different accounts and histories, one for my company, one for my podcast and one for my daily use and I don't need to log in and log out from each account plus, the attention of small details is insane. But if I have to be honest I don't think that Arc solves the problem of the tabs. I still have a lot of tabs opened and the vertical layout does not help me either, I'd like to have small previews instead favicons and titles that most of the time don't help me to understand if I need that opened tab anymore

This video was enough to make me sign up for the waiting list. Well done on coming up with something that looks genuinely innovative in a pretty mature and saturated space.

I'm part of the 70% of people who have Android, so I guess I'm not using it then.

I am a fan of this recent 'trend', of smaller tech companies having this kind of transparency and 2-way dialogue with both their users, and the larger community surrounding their products and services. I know it's a lot to ask of companies, but I am personally a huge fan when companies are up front like this. Great work Browser Company. Love what you're attempting in the browser space, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. 🙌

The easiness to set spaces for your personal, work, and side job is the main thing I told people the plus point of Arc. The other thing the immersiveness since Arc could make you feel like using a native app with the sidebar hidden without having to download the real app Usually I switch back to Chrome after 1 month trying new browser, but it's a solid 4-5 months now with Arc. Can't wait for the mobile version.

Found Arc through the MKBHD video and now I'm on the waiting list, looking forward to it!

Switched to Arc on my Macbook and cannot wait for iOS and Windows versions to be released so my whole life can be through it. Notion and you all at the Browsing Company have restored my excitement in the tech industry that I had growing up. Pure delight!

Arc is such a magical browser, and I really hope it becomes more widespread and continues to add incredible features! :D

I’m currently using Vivaldi and after watching this I started watching other videos from the arc channel. It looks incredible. Would love to give arc a try! Just joined the waitlist 😄

I downloaded it immediately after watching the podcast and so far I'm LOVING it 😍.

Looking forward to a windows release. You have created something that looks like the first browser I am excited about, ever. That cannot have been easy. Well done!

I have switched over entirely to Arc and love it... Spaces and easels are just amazing. Sad that, as an adroid users, I won't get my mobile synch anytime soon but easy enough work arounds exist.

Keep up with the good work! Can't wait for the mobile, windows and linux versions!!!

Loved this video, great from a marketing standpoint. Loved the openness and personal touch, excited to try the product 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

So glad this showed up for me today! Switching over literally right now this wasn't even something I knew I needed until I saw it!

Arc from launch is not the same Arc as now and that's why I love it. It's only getting better! I was skeptical at first, with kinda useless tools like Notes and Easels (whiteboard tools) but there has been a big focus on productivity updates, that have been absolute game-changers. 10/10 recommend

I love Arc my few reservations are that sometimes the page does not display correctly even thought I thought it was Chromium under the hood there must be some differences sometimes. But a particular aspect I struggle with is the lack of a page loading bar in dev mode and not being able to refresh the page without using the keyboard shortcut apparently? Otherwise love the fact spaces can be set (an improvement to this would be to actually separate the signed in sessions between spaces so that we can log into different accounts) and another feature is clearing tabs by itself, really needed. A really good nice to have that I use a lot is side by side views. Thanks for the hard work you've been putting on it 🙏

First time hearing about you guys. This is great, will def be using Arc from now on and will be rooting for y'all

Great Video... It was great to see your thought process as a CEO when receiving what i thought was a well "Reviewed" feedback. Especially the part were you are torn between being happy your product is being fully understood or abit challenging although in a positive way because you built something new

I hope Arc Browser really comes to Windows soon, been on the waitlist, really excited to use it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Also, I should say that I signed up after watching their review of Arc and I had never heard of it until then. I am looking forward to being able to test it out. I'm constantly switching between Chrome, Firefox and Safari, mainly due to performance issues and I've been getting some major lagging in Chrome lately when on Zoom calls. I'll be curious to see how Arc stacks up to the others, performance-wise.

I actually heard about Arc from the MKBHD podcast and I’m trying it now. I got excited for your reaction, congratulations for the great job your doing!!!

I'm trying out Arc for myself because of this podcast and so far I'm loving it!

I’ve never used it and i am not fully sure of how it even works . Although , one thing i have to say is that i really like it when both the CEO and the company are both that open with their consumers, it makes it more human and i think there’s a big lack of that in many companies. I’ve watched this video of MKBHD and i hope this brings even more light and recognition on "the browser company". Can’t wait for it to launch on windows so i can try it as-well !

I am glad Arc got this coverage, because for what I saw it's a really power user take on the browsing experience. Can't wait to try it out on Windows when it comes out. But since I am pretty locked into the new Bing and Edge AI features right now, I don't know if I will be actually willing to lose those in order to switch to Arc though. And yes... that new Edge browser is a real game changer for search.

I'm on the waiting list and can't wait. You have cracked the code on browsers. Thank you I struggle with Safari all day and constantly thinking there is a better way of doing this. Seeing you and hearing more about the product makes me want it now.

I'm on the wait list for Arc and am stoked. It seems to solve many of the major frustrations I have with web browsers and appears genuinely innovative. :-)

I stopped using Arc mid last year because I don't know to setup Profiles or it is not available at the time. But when I heard that Profile is now available and can be tied to a Space. The ease of switching profiles without the need of new windows is a game-changer for me.

i love arc, can't wait for it to also come to windows! not that it really changed all that much for me, but i really really love the design

Here from the MKBHD podcast, and I can't wait to try this browser when it releases on Windows!

This was a very refreshing video to watch, I will check out your browser.

I really hope you end up porting it to Linux and Android. It seems to me that, even with just Windows, porting Arc to a different language and toolkit (maybe Kotlin and QT like many apps or GTK like most browsers) would be easier than porting Swift to Windows in an actually stable way, and that would also allow for a much easier transition to other platforms. Vertical tabs in browsers like Firefox are really nice, but Arc seems to add some really nice extra features.

I'm interested. Oddly I found this before the Waveform clip/show segment. I do think you should know that he uses both iPhone and Android, together, daily. So the lack of cross platform use will be a deal breaker. For me, I have a Mac, which I use periodically, a Windows laptop and an Android phone as my dailies. I'm with Marques on the requirement for cross platform. While I know Chrome is heavy, I'm invested in Google's ecosystem and love that I can just pick up from wherever I left off on any device. Get this and I'm in.

Keep doing what you guys are going. Rooting for the Browser Company!

I'm on a waitlist. Hopefully it's not tooooo long. Would love to give it a shot.

This was SO fun, and love the ownership over "if they can't explain it, and they are excited about it, it means we built something special". That is 100% me this past weekend when trying to convince another skeptical friend to try Arc 😆 This edit was also fantastic 🙌 appreciate your team making such fun content and congrats on the MKBHD podcast mention-Marques will for sure be using Arc 6 months from now. It'll be so fun too, to hear a follow-up on this video from them 🔥

You got attention (thanks to marques) and I checked your product. I switched back to my previous browser within a day, because a browser has to be cross platform (I’ve got desktop running Linux too and I’ll not sit deliberately in front of my mac every time). You’re missing out on a big opportunity to gain customers (personally I won’t try it again because I’m just lazy). However I wish you guys success because this space needs shakeup!

Arc is awesome :) best browsing experience I’ve ever had.

Learned a lot from this video. Hope to see more and see what's up!

Hey, just want to let you know that I've been waiting on this for 3 (maybe 4) months now; I use a Windows 2-in-1 (x360 foldable) laptop and your UI and feature set will be perfect for my workflow. I'm also glad to hear that a mobile version is on its way (and I hope it's going to be a simultaneous iOS and Android drop this time). Keep up the good work 🙌🏽🫶🏽

I smell Michel Scott 👀

Getting an Arc invite was best thing to happen to me work wise recently, so in love with it. I would pay for it if I ever have to.

Really cool reaction 😎 the video editor has been amazing 👏🏽 A shame that they did not get a bit deeper into arc revolutionary features. Overall, great vibes ✨️

arc browser looks like a good amalgamation of a lot of firefox productivity plugins, but since the company does really care about linux or android, it's a big pass for me.

How about a linux version for all of us engineering nerds? How does the developer tooling stack up against something like Dev Tools in Firefox? Curious to hear more about it

Just downloaded Arc and first impressions, so far so good. It is unique in its approach. A bit of fresh air from all the current browsers that just look the same old same old and feel old!!

I came to the channel from CEO’s email today (who click links from newsletters right?) so, I believe I deserve an Arc sticker. Thank you good CEO

Why don't you make a version for linux ???

Alexandra gets it 💚

I like this a lot, especially the transparency of the CEO and the features

RU-vid just recommended this video to me. This is the first time I've heard of this browser. and I'm now interested in it, and I've enjoyed watching the people inside the company.

Is there a linux version?

So I guess Android app is not happening any time soon from his comment 😢

Usando Arc todos los días! Gracias. Es muy bueno!

i love the work you guys are putting in. I just have to wait till you guys have some sort of linux/android support.

When your customers are passionate about promoting your product, you know that's a great product

This browser looks really cool! It's a shame it's not coming to Linux or Android (as those are the main operating systems I use), and the Windows release is far out. All of the features seem really cool, I just don't own any, and will never own any Apple products (I like that Linux and Android are more open, and I need powerful graphics hardware for my work, which Apple doesn't offer). I'll keeo following this project, but I'm afraid if it doesn't come to Android or Linux, I'm going to have to keep using Firefox.

First time hearing about Arc. I’m going to give it a try and use it for my day to day personal and development for work.

My first time hearing about this. Downloading it for sure!

I really hope you guys make an android version next to the ios, because only supporting ios is a bit of a bummer. Loving what this browser can do so far!

"Hope you don't have an Android" 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

This randomly popped up in my suggested watches and... I would be hype to upgrade once it's across more platforms. I would also love some sort of key feature guide, even if it's tiktoks or shorts just showing how to best optimize the browser...

i like the vibe that this browser has. got my hands on it today. A guide to get started with all the features would be really helpful.

Why not an android app?

Make a linux version pls!!!

I have a MacBook Pro and use Arc full time but I have an Android phone. Really hope you guys open your browser up to more devices!!! Absolutely love Arc!

Been on the waitlist for a week. Super excited to switch to ARC!

I really hope that you release an app for iPhone and android, and one for iPad, and like every device. I think it’s important to use the same browser everywhere. Maybe implement AI into it aswell as that is trending quite a lot right now

Saying "hope he doesn't use an android phone" is the worst thing I have ever heard a business owner say.

On the waiting list waiting to test this. Hoping this will be as good as it looks, so I can showcase it to the developers at work.

Love the product, so stoked for you guys. Bummed about that wee Android chirp :)

I think he is struggling to explain what’s great about Arc is because the use cases for Arc are not readily apparent. I’ve tried Arc for a few hours and found that the adjustment time to be too high. My biggest issue with Arc is that its trying to completely overhaul how we use a browser. I would have preferred it if all the new features were built on top of a traditional browser experience and I hope that The Browser company takes that into consideration. Without an initial sense of familiarity I think only the most hardcore or niche users will put in the time to adjust to Arc. It has some neat features but Marques’ comments about theft of unprotected features makes a lot of sense. It won’t be long before people try to take what makes Arc unique and build extensions that reproduce those features in Chrome.

Ok - subscribing to your channel before you hit 10K. Checked out your website earlier and am waiting to see how this browser develops. Wishing you great success.

Came here from the Waveform podcast as well. You guys HAVE to make a Windows and an Android version! Please don't keep us out of this!

I'm watching this via Arc. So meta 🤙

Have just bought a new Macbook yesterday (my 1st Apple product) and can now finally use this browser and I'm loving it so far

Arc is freaking awesome! I really love it! It makes me feel like that first year or 2 of chrome before it got bloated and stupid. I hope that Arc just keeps getting better and better. The feature set is awesome, and the fact that it has frequent improvements is amazing. Bugs and features get fixed and added pretty dang quick. As far as features I use, I love the spaces feature, and the air traffic control to go with it. They really streamline browsing when I am working. My work and personal hardly ever blend.

Randomly got this in my yt recommended feed. Once it comes to windows I'll check it out, sounds interesting

This review is the reason I switched over to Arc. Made me more productive as a creative. Thank you!

watching it on arc right now. Can't wait for the mobile and windows version.

MBKHD confirmed on this week's episode that he uses it, as he mentioned that you could have it in a vertical view. Keep it up and will try this

I hope you guys do well, looking forward for the browser to be multi platform definitely give it a try 👍🏽

Ooooooo I'm excited about this! Please hurry up and release a windows version !

This podcast was what introduced me to Arc in the first place, and I can confidently say that I dont want to ever use any other browser.

I was listening to the podcast on my way back from work the other day. And when he mentioned Arc browser. My mind went to Arc linux 😅

Excited for the Windows version. Can't wait!

Randomly came across this, I CANNOT WAIT for the windows release!
