Arc Browser
What works
- Sidebar-based tab management organizes dozens of open tabs into Spaces without cognitive overload — eliminates tab chaos
- Little Arc opens links from external apps in a lightweight popup without switching focus to the full browser
What doesn't
- Windows version is in beta and less stable than macOS — not production-ready for Windows-primary users
- No mobile-to-desktop sync with the same fidelity as Chrome's bookmarks and history sync
Google Chrome
What works
- Cross-platform sync is the gold standard — tabs, history, passwords, and bookmarks are identical on Mac, Windows, Android, iOS
What doesn't
- Google account sync monetizes your browsing history through advertising — privacy trade-off is real
- Tab management is flat — no spaces, groups require manual creation, cognitive overhead grows with tab count
Bottom line
Provisional pick: Arc Browser — not enough sourced decision facts for Arc Browser.
