OP is talking about the Arc browser, not the Arc language, the Arc "Atomic React" project, or any of scores of other projects with that name.

I'm definitely not the target audience... Even after reading the faq I have no idea what it does

    As a person that recently started using it: it has something like "tree style tabs", and sort of a hybrid merge of the concepts of tabs and bookmarks. In other words, the tabs work more like files on disk -- open/closed, sorted into folders. I'm probably not explaining it well either, but I encourage you to try it if you ever wanted to experiment with alternative tab management (tree style tab, tab groups etc). It's a concept that clicked for me quickly once I started using it, and now I'm angry since I want to use Firefox for philosophical reasons but don't want to go back to regular tabs.

      Firefox has a heavily customizable tree style tab extension.

        Yeah, I tried it, but it does a fundamentally different thing than Arc

    It's a browser (chromium based) with a really nice UI that people love, I am intrigued but haven't used it because I find the requirement to create an account off-putting.

    The “what makes Arc different from other browsers” section is particularly funny.

    > Arc is to your ex-browser what the iPhone was to cellphones. Or as one of our members said “like moving from a PC to a Mac.” It’s from the future — and just feels great.

    I don't understand what you do not get. In the link you sent they claim to be a privacy oriented web browser based on chromium
