New features that change the rules of the game
Arc recently unveiled its future browser with several innovative features such as “Instant Links” and “Live Folders”. With Instant Links, users can instantly open the top search result with a simple keyboard shortcut. For example, you can search for “Jurassic Park Trailer” and immediately get the trailer on YouTube, or search for a recipe and immediately enter the top result.
The “Live Folders” feature collects updates from your favorite websites and social media feeds and puts them into folders, acting as a custom RSS feed right in the browser.

“Arc Explore”
One of the most ambitious features is “Arc Explore” which uses AI language models, similar to ChatGPT, to offer an interwoven browser, search engine and website experience. This feature aims to simplify the process of performing tasks online, such as making restaurant reservations or searching for specific recipes. In short, it should be able to google for you.

“Arc Search”
Arc also launched “Arc Search”, an app available for mobile. This app represents the company’s vision for what future internet searches will look like, where browsers automate several steps in the search experience. Arc Search does this by creating a website with results from several different sources when you search for something.
Other browsers are also experimenting a lot with AI. Google Chrome recently introduced several AI features similar to those of Arc, and Microsoft’s search engine “Copilot”, powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT, has a variety of AI features available to users. Generative AI may thus have changed the way we surf, and Arc is a big part of that development.
