PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
Arc launched a new way to browse the web

Picture it: You’re hosting a dinner party, and you want to bake a cheesecake for dessert. Usually you’d google a recipe, click on a few links, and scroll to the bottom, hoping you have all the ingredients listed. It’s the default way of browsing the web. You probably don’t think twice about it. 

But the folks at The Browser Company did. Hot off the heels of securing not one but three 2023 Golden Kitty Award nominations, the team behind Arc launched Arc Search, a totally reimagined way of browsing the web. 

Once you open Arc Search, your keyboard will automatically pop up. There are no text fields to click. You just start typing. Say you wanted to read the highlights of the Chief’s game. Type in your search, and the app will scour the web – reading six different links. That’s where things get different. 

Rather than returning a search query with an endless list of links like you’re accustomed to, Arc Search will instead grab all the relevant information, like the final score, MVP, and additional commentary, and build you a website based on it so you can read the most important parts of your search result.

Of course, if you prefer the traditional method, you can opt for that by tapping the search query to use Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or Ecosia – whichever is set as your default. 

Arc Search also aims to improve the mobile browsing experience with features like automatic tab cleanup, ad-blocking, pop-up blocking, and more. It’s currently available on iPhone and is free to download.
