For those of you who are looking to scour the Internet on a brand-new browser, well, we got some good news: Arc is now finally available to all Windows users, after it enteredits Beta phase, earlier this year. And, according to its website and its trailer, the browser is already making some bold statements.

The Browser Company, the organization behind this brand-new browser, says that Arc isa browser that doesn’t just meet your needs — it anticipates them.What does the company mean by this? Well, it seems that if you’re inclined to look for images, Arc will swiftly follow along with tools that let you download those images.

The trailer, which you can watch below, comes with an even bolder (and quite funny, to be honest) statement: it shows someone deleting Microsoft Edge, in favor of Arc.

And it makes sense: while Edge is quite fast, and performant, the browser is full of side panels that open all sorts of plugins, and options of AI models. In contrast, one look at the official Arc website, and it’s quite a delight: the browser is going for a lighter, more carefree approach to browsing the internet.

Arc features built-in apps including a built-in ad blocker and a virtual notebook, and users can customize it to suit their personal aesthetics.

The browser also supports integration with Google apps like Gmail and Google Calendar and will use Google Search as the default search engine. Before being available to Windows, the Arc browser has been an alternative to macOS and iOS Safari for years now.

It comes with a lot of Windows-themed designs as well: you’ll be able to choose the Mica effect, which gives it a translucent look, and its simplistic UI could be easier on you than those of Edge, or Chrome.

Plus, you’ll be greeted with an awesome card, when you join up.

So, will you try it? You can download it fromthe official website.
